Terror Alert

This was a sucky day.  With the new intel that we received about al-Qaida attacks, I decided I was not about to risk life and limb and go to work.  Yes, I know that I don't work for one of the financial institutions mentioned in the intel, but I didn't want to take any unnecessary chances.  But after hearing Tom Ridge say that extra security measures were being taken to ensure safety in the workplace, I decided to go on to work.  But I was late getting there because I spent 20 minutes looking for my sunglasses. I knew I left them on the kitchen counter, but they were nowhere to be found.  I gave up and went on to work, and tried to get my boss to believe that the reason I was late was because a gigantic Pac Man ate everything on our kitchen counter.
