So... We Had To Evacuate The Building Yesterday... [View all]

Can't give too much away, but...

We receive mail, and process government forms... and make sure that those that have lost their jobs get money to tide them over.

And some idiot... mad at his bank... uses one of our envelopes to send a multi-page rambling screed complete with a circuit board and other electronic parts... plus business card !!!

A call was made... a total evacuation was called for.

So... we stood outside in the parking lot for an hour or more... we had 5 Fire Trucks, 6 Highway Patrol. 3 Sheriffs, 2 Jet Fighters, and 3 Helicopters...

Ok... we're next to an ex AFB so the fighter jets and helicopters were probably incidental, but still...

After being told to move back FURTHER away from the building, and waiting an hour and 20 minutes... we were told to go back in and finish up the day.

A few of us went to the bar shortly thereafter.
