Absurdity
I love living in an age of terror!
Last fall, there was an uncredited, alleged, indirect threat made to financial institutions in the New York Metro Area. In, what this blogger percieves as, an over reaction to this threat the facist Newark Police Department surrounded the Prudential Building with highway-barriers and S.W.A.T. teams.
Meanwhile, in the developing edge cities/ex-urbs of the I-287 beltway, my company, suffering from an obvious inferiority complex, sent their rent-a-cops out to task. They placed bright-orange-plastic-water-filled highway-barriers across one entrance to the parking garage directing all traffic into the other entrance. They then stood guard over the remaining entrance in their mighty Chevy Trackers. Truly, we are dealing with master strategists here.
The absurdity continues:
A mass email was sent out today giving the details of the Company Call Chain. In the event that a disaster or act of war befalls our office a call chain will be implemented to notify the staff about the disaster. It gets better. In the event that this system is tested we will be given a phrase to repeat the next work day to our supervisor (i.e. The sky is blue). I hear that next year we will have to do our reveiws in the Cone of Silence!
Let me make this clear:
An office surround by trees and corn fields will never be a terrorist target. Prudential? Maybe. My office? Not a chance in Hell. Hurricanes? In North Jersey? No. Landscape changing earthquakes. No. Tornados? NO! I think a pattern is forming. Some disgruntled employee buring the building down. Sure, that's entirely feasible; this job did force someone to commit sucide last Thanksgiving. Even in that rare circumstance, arson not suicide, there is no need for supersecret code words.
Absurd.

Today I was contacted by my superior. The code apparently is "under the boardwalk." I feel like such an idiot working for these people.
