rubber gloves and helmets Today Shannon was telling me about a news report about how a mailroom came across some "unidentified" substance. I related to her some stories about my time in the mailroom during the anthrax scare following 9/11, and I remembered something that connected to recent events at work . . . Back when the anthrax scare came about, we were given rubber gloves to wear while handling mail. A few of us put them on and went to work. However, they are incredibly uncomfortable and it's somewhat more difficult to work while wearing them, so after about 5 minutes, we decided to forget it, we'll take our chances. Because really, the odds were overwhelmingly against any type of incident. Well, I was talking to someone shortly after this happened. I told them all of this, and they thought I was crazy not to wear gloves. So I told them, "Think about it. I'm more likely to slip and hit my head on the counter and bust it open than I am to get infected by anthrax." And sure enough . . . posted
