Reply #16: In the shower, listening to Howard Stern

[Kire]

Dad told me to go into work, so I did. I worked for Barnesandnoble.com call center in Secaucus, NJ (right next to the Lincoln Tunnel). I had to turn back when they closed Route 3 about 5 miles out. I then went to a blood donation center, and the line was a mile long. So I went to my old job and said hi to my old co-workers (and also to use the bathroom). They closed down early so I went home.

The next day, I made it to work and I got one call from a customer and an air show was going on outside his house. It freaked me out.

The other call I got was from a customer in Manhattan who wanted to know why the same day shipping program we had wasn't working. I literally told her that it was because two planes knocked down the World Trade Center, and she said, "Don't give me that shit." and then she said we could send the trucks over the Tappanzee Bridge and back down into Manhattan. I told her we'd do our best, and she said, "Don't do you best, get me my books. I have a presentation I need to do." I don't remember exactly how it ended, but the supervisor of the whole floor was watching and couldn't believe it, either.
