Yes.

At the time, I was still working in telco. I was at Ameritech, and I was in the grievance (I was a union steward). I had a text pager at the time instead of a cell. While in the middle of arguing the case, my pager went off.

I read it. Stopped. Just sat there quiet.

The others asked what was wrong? I told them. Then their cells went off with people calling them. I still remember the manager saying this, "Kinda puts this bullshit into perspective".

I took the 2nd half of the day off, and went home and watched the TV. I was stunned to say the least, and simple shock is the best I can explain it. I then went and drank myself into oblivion.
