Dodging a bullet

Usually, we are allowed to leave at 3pm, so I trudged out the door and gave my friend Ian a ride home. No sooner than I got home and sat down, I received an automated call alerting me that something major was going down at my work, Symantec.

From KVAL.COM :
"SPRINGFIELD, Ore. - An envelope containing a suspicious substance and a letter claiming the material was anthrax caused a lock down that left as many as 1,000 employees stranded inside their office for four hours May 20. Officials are now 99 percent sure the substance is sugar."

Yea, lets just say I made it out before all hell had broken loose. The fire department, hazmat teams, police, media, and who knows who else were called into quarantine the building and secure the perimeter. I think the picture that was used in the website post was a picture I took back a few years ago. Glad everyone made it out ok, but damn. What the hell? Going to be an interesting day at work tomorrow, and all over a envelope of sugar.
