What a crappy day!
Here I am sitting in my cube trying to work when I find out the lady on the other side of the floor questioned a drappery hanger on what he was doing and he replied he was here to install a bomb. (This dude was a Mexican whoose English was terrible.)One of our supervisors went over to talk to him to find out what was going on. He found out the guy was being flippant with her and he told they guy that this a really bad day to make that kind of joke. Not soon after the police show up and arrest the guy. At this point we have two highway patrol offices, two guy in plainclothes, and three security guards talking about what to do with his cart. The cart has big roll of drappery on top, and a tool box with a southwest airlines sticker on it. They decide that they should have dogs sniff the cart.
This is all happening on the otherside of my cube wall. At this point two guys I work with and myself decide that is a really good time to eat lunch. (I brown bagged today, but I made an exception…) While eating lunch we find out that the three blocks around Rhodes Tower were closed to traffic and the building was evacuated.
Well anyhow what a freaky day. I mean I was pretty sure this a misunderstanding, but I really did’nt want to sit ten feet away from the cart in my cube… I don’t really know what say about this other then I honestly feel sorry for the guy.
