Good Jimney F*****Cricket. You should have SEEN the State House today in anticipation of next week's DNC. Soldiers on the roof. The closing off of all entrances save for one. Dire doomsday emails the whole day long.
Even so the State House has really very little to do with the upcoming Democratic National Convention, plots and sub-plots abound that terrorists and/or anarchists will attack the building. The HR Director, Keith XXX, came by personally to all of the offices to give us a nine-page what's what, who's who, wing-dinger whopper of what to expect next week.
Said he to me and my colleague, "Well as far as coming in next week, you can if you want but you won't be docked if you don't. If you do I definitely wouldn't wear the tie (this comment directed to my colleague). The anarchists might spot you en route to work. We've been checking out a lot of websites. Like what happened in Seattle and Washington, we think they are intent on creating havoc. It's not just Starbucks and McDonalds. It could be you..." The 'he' is a circa twenty-nine-year-old black Republican convinced that the State House is going to be attacked by whacko anti-establishment what-evers. Never mind Al-Queda. Go figure.
If ever there were a plot, it is the completely blown-out-of-proportion 'threat' to the State House which has nearly every tax-paid employee heading for the Cape or New Hampshire for a week of paid vacation. Your tax dollars hard at work. On the other hand, come on guys.... We're making 29K a year!
