Bomb Scare




That's right, just when you thought you were safe at work...


Yesterday, a pipe bomb was discovered at the container station at our Landfill Site, where my wonderful office is located. The container station is where residents go to drop off household garbage and recycling and is located about 2 football fields away from my office. Unfortunately some boneheads are unaware that pipe bombs are not recyclable and dumped the bomb in one of the containers! The bomb did not go off at that time, instead one of our staff noticed it in the bin and called 911. We had the EMS, Fire department and the bomb sqaud on site all afternoon (nice eye candy ladies!) while they decided how to save us all. They actually used a robot (chickenshits) to relocate the bomb to a "safe" area, then burried the bomb and KABOOM detonated it with a loud BANG! I've attached some pics of the excitement and we were on the 6 o'clock news last night (not that anyone noticed and called to see if I was alive)! I really should be demanding danger pay!

Oops - haven't been around in awhile. Yes I'd say that's pretty cool. Aaron & I don't watch the news. Too gross for the kids, and there isn't much news on between 8pm and 10pm.

That makes for a pretty exciting work day. The highlight of my day was that for the first time in the 6 years I've worked for RBC I actually saw our CEO in the flesh as he walked passed me on my way to the train station. He is one tall dude. He gave me a cat call and I flashed him a sexy smile as we passed one another. Very memorable moment. ~Jill

I think you should ask for danger pay. Glad it was buried before exploding. Stay safe. Sarge
