went postal
Today I drove out to the Dulles mail facility to view how some of our projects are managed and saw some of the gadgets that I will have to train people on. It was next door to the nicely landscaped AOL headquarters and somewhat near my friend Vonnie DuBois' home. While I may not be able to 'do lunch' too often with my half-sister Vonnie Du Bois, dinner is certainly a possibility, and after the hour-long drive home through DC rush-hour traffic, so is a sleep-over if I'm there more than a few days in a row. Let's make D&D characters all night! 'nerk-snort!'. Of course, leaving the womb of the District made me disoriented and afraid, and I got lost about a half-dozen times at least in the twisted maze of Northern Virginia.
The facility was HUGE and it was amazing to see how our mail is processed and sorted. On the way home I heard there was another anthrax scare earlier that day AT THAT VERY SAME FACILITY. However, it turned out someone's package had spilled some sugar. Who the hell mails sugar anyway?
It's fucking cold here too, by the way. But every time I want to wince at it, I think about how much I hate the summers here even more. If only I could somehow package this frigid weather and release it for a day or two in July.

They were plainclothed union postal workers. Did spot more than a few blue collar types, however.
