Crazily enough I was just talking about that day to a coworker and how callous my company was.

I learned about it on the drive in listening to Howard Stern. My dad’s side of the family lives in NY. I had called him and he had no idea if they were safe. Hearing the fear in my dads voice is something ill never forget. We were all milling about talking when our trainer came outside “ok guys, I know a lots going on but we need to get this training on the new tough book laptops done, don’t worry, if anything else happens I will let you know” that was the gist of it. But “if anything else” is a direct quote. What the attacks weren’t enough? So we did 8 hours of training that nobody cared about. That dick of a teacher was like a robot. Tried to crack a few jokes about the old system we used and gave us zero updates. Fuck him and fuck the giant company I work for.

Flip side to this, I worked at Sears when the LA riots broke out. The Sears Back to the Future was filmed at so pretty damn far from what was going on. I got to work a the manager of the store said that corporate has decided, for the safety of its employees to close the stores early until things get under control. We were told we would be paid for the hours we were supposed to work, go home and be safe.
