It stuck a chord

Stuck. I thought I wanted to type "struck."
Yesterday, I happily accepted the score on my typing test (high enough for the jobs I've looked at.) I had a pretty happy outlook most of the day...I stopped to get coffee on a gift card I received as a present. Only worry: Sugars! What kind of drink doesn't have too much sugar? (The girl behind the counter explained the "skinny drink" menu went away and even if you put sugar free syrup in a regular drink, milk itself has a fair amount of sugar...wow, I didn't expect her to be so vigilant about sugar, but then again in a way I'm not surprised.)
On the way out I saw the headline for a story in the paper that made me feel sick. That is one incident concerning a place that has A LOT of problems. On a slightly different topic, there are schools which have also terrible problems with assault, and that is one.
It has not been addressed adequately.
Happier note: the article about the wrestler who has made massive contributions (both financial and time-wise) to RAINN.
Also there was a good story on "This American Life," the espisode was about "frenememies." Or frenemies. Whatever. (About the spelling of frenemies. Not about the content of the show and article.)
