Anybody over on Big Week hear any further news about the rest of our gang? I know Lemming is down in the area there somewhere and I know Wolverine worked in the Trade Center as I ran into him several times grabbing a smoke outside the lobby. We were evacuated from the office yesterday, there's a lot of false alams going on, and I can understand the idea of trying to get back on track and working to implement the disaster recovery stuff that we have. But hell, nobody is getting anything done anyway. Send everybody the fuck home and we'll get back to it next week... that's my say on the matter. A couple of my friends are missing... I've been asking around about co-workers and friends of mine at our customer sites, nobody knows shit, it's all this horrible waiting game. One friend of mine, a fella by the name of Jack Murray, was a senior VP at the bank where I'm now consulting. When I first started with Hitachi some 17 years ago he befriended me on my first visit to his bank - "Hitachi? We'll it's about friggin time they got some Americans working for them!" is what he said when we first met (I was one of the first "local" staff engineers to be hired). Since then the guy has been lifesaver for me at work. I don't know how many times I'd run into some kind of bullshit or be stranded somewhere at the bank with security giving me a hard time about access and all I ever had to do was drop his name and the doors would open. I like to think that I also made it a little easier for him on my side as well. Many a time he'd call and say we're having some kind of trouble, not sure if it's your stuff or not, and I'd tell him no worry I'll be right over and figure it out. Word I'm getting is that he got out of the building with a co-worker but then turned to go back in, probably to be sure his people we're getting out ok. That was the last anybody saw of him. My father-in-law lost some very old and dear friends. You may have heard about the top FDNY brass that were killed, they were all very good friends of his. He's a retired fireman and former fire safety director for Chase Manhattan Bank. One of the guys that was lost grew up with my father-in-law, they went to grade school together and were friends for 50 years. The feeling I'm getting on the streets, in the subways and on the trains, is that the shock and numbness are beginning to wear off and people are really starting to get pissed off. I know the rest of the country is probably already to the anger stage. Here we've had the horror to delay the anger but I can see and feel it coming. New Yorkers tend to be pissed off people even on a good day, so this could get ugly. If it turns out that any country was directly involved (Iran, Iraq, whatever) we'll they'd be wise to close their UN offices and get the hell outta town before the mob starts scooping them up and hanging em from lampposts. I imagine that soon there'll be lists of the missing posted somewhere... I have to know but I'm already dreading it and afraid to look.
