Bulls-eye

I'm sitting here at my desk with my mouth hanging open and staring at one of the TVs in our lobby.

The reason for my shock?

A manager for the Sears Tower (my office location) has just said that the Sears Tower is no more a target than any other building in the city or the country.

Um, what?!?!?!

So, why did the FBI just arrest a bunch of hoodlums in Miami who were trying to concoct a plan to blow up my place of business??

Let me guess...These goofballs held a meeting in their Florida warehouse where they randomly pulled out a map of the US, closed their eyes, spun around a few times and blindly pointed to the Sears Tower?!?!?

Kind of a terrorist pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey.

CNN just featured some high-level flunkee from the Sears Tower management office who stated that our security is the "best in the business." (You'd think he was running for office!)

This crack security team is the same group of folks who recently trashed a local restaurant's food cart when they tried to make a delivery in the building but doesn't bat an eye when my outsdoorsy colleagues carry in several highly flammable cooktops for camping.

I carry a backpack and a purse to work every morning. I usually place the backpack on the conveyor belt so that the security guard can scan it (if he's looking at the screen and not chatting with a coworker). THEY DON'T SCAN MY PURSE....EVER!

Yep, just gives you that warm and cozy feeling of safety, don't it???
