I worked in a different city for 3 years and in that time I got really tight with most of my coworkers. Then I moved to a workplace that is considerably smaller. I also started up a school program that is pretty demanding but not out of reach of completion.

Well in the time that I left Maryland, people that i used to work with have gotten fired. And for some reason I get calls and texts about all of it. When I read these texts I think to myself "what the hell does this have to do with me?" It's almost like people are mocking those that got fired. Now that I'm here in Detroit there's been a few people that have gotten fired for different reasons and that's all people are talking about. It's almost like there's nothing else to talk about here except who's not working with us anymore and why.

I'm out of school this month because I got credit for these sections but I still had to run out there to handle some business and my classmates stopped me to tell me about who flunked out and who got put of school for whatever reasons and again I think to myself "what the hell does this have to do with me?".

So I got to thinking...do we revel in the downfall of others?
