The blinds are closed all along one side of the building I work in.→[More:]Late yesterday afternoon, someone jumped off a building across the street and crashed through the roof of the (much lower) building next door. Lots of people saw it happen (including some of my staff) and the place feels really sad, which is unusual, because it's usually a noisy, happy office.

I've organised counsellors, dispensed hugs, told people to go home if they feel that would help etc. I can't help but feel cranky because someone has caused so much sadness for so many people, which over-rides the sadness that someone felt so bad they had to take such a drastic step.
