Good Back to Work Monday (Where were you guys 5 years ago today)

Morning

1st, the pleasantness I spent the entire day watching football (fucking Bills got my fucking hopes up) with 4 browsers open looking at Fantasy Football stats (I think I went 3-0 ) I did cap off the day by watching The Wire & Brotherhood, both of which were really good.

As far as where I was 5 years ago: I was sleeping & The Bitch woke me up because Jim called to let me know what was going on. I got out of bed, came down to the office & I think I spent the rest of the day talking to Jim & watching TV.

I was sleeping. Jenny woke me up and said that planes had hit the towers. In my groggy state the first thought that came to mind was that plane that hit the Empire State building in a heavy fog back in the 40's. Then PLANES (plural) sank in and I thought "Oh fuck". I think we stayed glued to the tube for the next few days.

Was just bringing home one of my daughters from getting braces put on, and Mark told me, something real bad was happening ....

Morning.. Was glad to see i'm still alive in the Superbowl pool.

I was in ATL at the IKON office working on their employee database. Because it was the IT office they had a control center in the middle of the office that had like 23 TV screens that could be viewed from every cubicle. 1 of the tv's was on CNN 24/7. I heard my across the cubicle wall mate gasp loudly and looked up to see the 1st tower smoking.. as i watched my phone rang.. my husband calling.. just as i answered the 2nd plane hit. He said i'm going for spud. He picked up my son. I chose to stay at work. Kind of indicitive of our relationship. But 3 weeks later the 2 members of the US Navy knocked on our door and informed him that in 48 hours he would again be active duty.
