I wrote last week about the bodies found in Carnation, Washington. The property owner’s daughter and her boyfriend are being charged in the murders of all six.

Michelle Anderson and her boyfriend Joseph McEnroe slaughtered her parents, her brother and sister-in-law and their children on Christmas Eve. After slaughtering their parents Joseph McEnroe apologized to the two young children before shooting both in the head. Apparently they shot the children because they were afraid that they were going to turn them in.

Anderson and McEnroe drove toward Canada and then turned toward Oregon before deciding to come back and pretend to discover the bodies, which had been discovered already. According to CNN, when they arrive Wednesday the investigators were already there and began questioning them when neither member of the couple asked what had happened at the scene.

According to Barry O’Regan King County prosecutors are considering seeking the death penalty for the pair.

Killing’s too good for the pair. I firmly believe that anyone is capable of murder in the right circumstances even if it’s just a case of self-defense, but the slaughter of innocent children is unforgivable. Too bad being drawn and quartered is considered cruel and unusual because this pair deserves no less.

I meant to have this post up yesterday and somehow got sidetracked. Holding a linkfest is a great way to get new people to come check out your writing that may not have been to your site before. Link to your best writing or just to something that you would like everyone to read by sending a link back to this post and it will show up in the body of this post.

The best way to do it is to use the form at Linkfest Haven but you don’t necessarily have to.

So I was sitting here trying to get my staffing a couple of nights ago when one of my managers called me. I guess when he called the store whoever it was that answered the phone was not supposed to be working and he thought they sounded drunk. He went ahead and drove on in to his store to see what was up.

To make a long story short the guy that occasionally works as a relief manager for me had shown up and sent one of the waitresses home (he doesn’t have any kind of authority for that sort of stuff) and was clocked in and working as her AND had made her pay him $20 to work in her place. Nobody called the manager or me to let us know what was going on.

The guy must have been messed up on pain pills or something. Apparently he kept wandering around asking ‘what did I do, what did I do?’ when the manager asked him to leave. He refused to get out of the restaurant so my manager called the law on him and they ran him off the property.

According to the guy he had a series of mini-strokes and ended up going to the emergency room. I tend to trust people when they tell me stuff but I told him he would need to bring me the paperwork from the hospital. Aside from his behavior is the fact that he never should have been working anyway, particularly under someone else’s name. It’s illegal in addition to being against our company policies.

Needless to say one of the waitresses was fired for theft during that time and I have pulled the guy off of that store’s schedule until he can bring me the medical paperwork proving what he says. Even then he may not be working back in that store which is going to seriously curtail his hours and the days he can work. I don’t know what the fuck got in his head to make him think it was a good idea. The only reason he hasn’t been terminated yet is that he has been with us 25+ years and is a pretty good employee. I will end up having to make sure I document all of it though, including a written warning, just to cover my ass.

This seems to have been the longest week in history. I ended up working seven days and Christmas was a 20 hour day for me. I am still pretty stressed out and just want to sleep for a week. I’m off today and my next two days off are something like January 8th and 9th. I may try and get another day off between now and then but it’s not likely. All of us have to work the 31st and 1st and then I have my three managers off two days apiece before I am taking any time off. I just didn’t feel like it would be right for me to take time off and rest up prior to my employees.

I do get a vacation soon though, mid-February. I will take at least two days off during that time where I do NO work. No paid postings, no working on web sites, no fucking restaurants. My last complete day off with neither things was most likely back in October when I spent the weekend in Helen.

I think I am going to clean up and go hit the coffee shop with my brother for a couple of hours, then I will get back online later today. I have several different projects I am working on and need to get at least some stuff finished.

I was thinking earlier about the first time I ever drove. My daddy had taught me a little bit in the parking lot where he worked and they let me drive a bit on my learner’s license but the first time I ever drove WITHOUT adult supervision was (of course) in the middle of the night. One of my best friends at the time, Gearhead (don’t ask) was spending the night or something and we went out and boosted the car. It was a 1977 Red Thunderbird. The last year that they made the Thunderbird using all steel construction. It was a great car.

For whatever reason, and why do teenagers ever need a reason, we thought it would be a great idea to drive out and pick up our girlfriends. Although I was 16 I only had a learner’s permit. Hell, I was 21 before I got a driver’s license. We were paranoid as hell and freaked out every time that we saw a police officer. When I had to stop and get gas I just knew that everyone there KNEW I was driving illegally. I don’t know if the folks ever knew that I took the car out but we did no damage to it, thank goodness.

Although I was 21 when I got my license I did drive occasionally. As I’ve mentioned in the past we did a lot of roadtrips and my friend Doug would let me drive when he was tired. I guess it was just dumb luck that I never managed to get in a car accident.

According to KIRO in Seattle, at least six people have died in a rural area about 21 Miles east of Seattle. The house itself is located in Carnation and is located at the end of a dirt road.

Authorities aren’t specifying how they died but they have towed a pickup truck for evidence.

According to KIRO the site of the slayings was complex and they expect to be at the scene for several hours.

I came across the story itself stopping in at CNN, where they had reported earlier that three people have died but just sent out a breaking news alert that the body count had gone up to six.

Apparently detectives were searching nearby properties in the area but would not say why. They are also looking for a suspect in particular but are not sure if that person is among the dead or not.

According to CNN the bodies were discovered at around 8 AM by someone who knows the family that lives in the isolated house. Police have stated that there are at least two adults and a child but I don’t know about the other three, and they are saying that the deaths are homicide.
