Remembering 9/11... 10 years later

[Schneed10]

I remember being at work, having graduated just 4 months earlier from college, and hearing it all over the radio. A group of us were huddled around the radio listening to the frenzied call of the radio host/disc jockey as the towers fell. Shortly thereafter our boss came around and said I understand there are major events taking place but unless you plan to take a personal day then you need to be working.

So on the same day I learned what it was like to feel threatened by foreign enemies of state, I also learned what not to do as a boss!

For a good couple of weeks after those attacks I remember feeling uneasy everytime I heard a plane overhead. I felt like I needed to look up and make sure it wasn't coming down at me. Amazing how something can rattle all that you take for granted.

I wouldn't be surprised if that boss still feels like a dick.

I still remember hearing the idiots in the dorm room next to mine cheering when the RA knocked on their door to say classes were canceled for the rest of the day. My only guess is that since it was still kind of early they may not have had any idea what was going on.
