I left my office, and went out on the floorЧsilence, but for the radio someone had turned on. Everyone is standing around, dumbfounded. Now, I should tell you, I was an Human Resources OfficerЧthis was the HR department. And no one had any idea of what to do next, not my boss, nor the highest SVP of the department. WeТd never planned for this kind of thing. Who had? We knew there were plans to initiate an evacuation of our downtown buildings, but what to do about the rest of the employees in the low rises in Quincy? I couldnТt bear just standing there listening to the same, limited information coming over the radio, so when my boss headed outside for a buy cheap cigarettes, I went with her. As we stood in the courtyard, I wondered, УHow the hell can I bring a child into this insane world?Ф And then I heard the airplanes. They were in a holding pattern, queuing up to land at Logan, which meant they flew right over our building. God, how I wanted a cigaretteЕand every time I heard one of those jets, my heart was in my throat.
