"I knew it was going to happen to us"

Let me first tell you, I have some really smart people that work in my company. I work for a credit card company. Last Thursday, this one particular bright girl was opening mail on her machine when she looked in the track and found a small clear baggy filled with white powder. It was unopened. She didn't tell anyone and just threw it away. Now, things pop out of the mail at work like you wouldn't believe. People will send used toilet paper in their mail to show us how much they like our credit card company. So she forgot about it. She wasn't scheduled until yesterday and halfway through her shift she FINALLY tells the manager on duty, "Oh yeah, I found a baggy with white powder that must have come out of an envelope. I don't usually watch the news, but they mentioned something about dangerous white powder and I thought I should mention it." Ok chick, what the hell planet do you live on? So they evacuated the building as a precautionary measure and sent everyone home. They really don't think its anthrax and it was unopened. After it was explained to her that one person is dead from inhaling a strange white powder, she said, "even though it wasn't open, do you think I should go to the doctor?"

Of course, there is no way to find out who sent it, the envelope and baggy are gone. We had an anthrax scare three years ago this month, and it turned out to be cocaine residue. Thats what they are thinking it may be again, but we have no idea. Luckily, the media hasn't picked up on this, we are still getting questions about the bomb scare we had a month ago. But how stupid can some people be?

GOD BLESS AMERICA

No kidding! How can someone possibly live and work in a populated area and not know what is going on. I wonder what it would be like to be so oblivious?

Hope everything is okay at work LadyT.

Stay safe...

You know, the worst thing about not being self-employed is that you have to deal with stupid people. I'm so sorry to hear this is happening to you. What an idiot this girl is! You know, I rarely watch the news either, but in a time like this, it's just common sense to pay attention to what going on in the world. And crisis or not, you don't just let something like that slide...Oh god, don't get me started. Anyway, I really do hope you're okay, and that no one suffers for this imbiciles actions. Take care T.
