    New inner-office tourist attraction

    Two cubes down from me was one of the ones that was hit by automatic weapon fire on friday evening. Our building was hit by approximately 15-20 bullets, with 6 bullets coming through windows (and recovered by the FBI). The cops recovered 9 bullets from a three story home/office building across the street. My office mate's window - double thickness of hurricane resistant glass now has a 3 inch hole in it and some spetacular spider leg cracks. She's about ready to charge admission.

    And she moved to this cube because last month her previous cube was flooded out when we had a rain storm while our building was being re-roofed. Of course that happened on a weekend too. Other offices were also flooded out in that rain storm.

    We're wating for the infestation of locusts.

    That must be terrifying! Good luck getting that other job. I have my fingers crossed for you. It's definitely time to move.

    Geez, locusts have got to be next. I would definitely charge admission if I were your co-worker. Hope you have a peaceful week.

    Wow- that's one scary hole. I'm so glad it was during a time when no one was there. Freaky!!!

    That office seems to be becoming a hazard to your health.
