It's an eerie day in Cube City. It's one that makes you pause every year and think about staying home. You just never know what will happen.
It's a day when you think about where you were on this date in 2001. It's a day for remembering what we don't want to remember.
It's 9/11.
It's also a day to reflect on Cube City and how you're surrounded by terrorists no matter what the date on your calendar. You fear for your career and reputation. You wonder who's on the hit list and when bad things are going to happen. You hear people arguing about a project gone awry like it's the end of the world. People scare each other into working harder, longer, faster. What is Cube City coming to?
I hope that today is calm in Cube City and that people are good to each other. Life should be about making the world a better place, not about punishing people you perceive to be in a better place than you.
Peace.

well said. it's like a big two-by-four with the word "perspective" carved on it, aimed at back of the head of every person caught up in the corporate circus of humiliation. sadly, even that doesn't deliver the message often enough.
Yes, I was typing away at 8 a.m. this morning and paused and thought, this is just about the time the first plane was headed straight for the tower. Didn't even connect with the date yet, just had that funny "pause" feeling early this morning, then remembered the date.
I did decide to wfh today for many reasons; one of them is the luxury of being out of earshot for those who need to bloviate.
Wish they'd just stop for one moment today and count blessings.
