Not to sound overly cynical, but as someone who was there during 9/11 and works across the street from the UN, I'll admit, I'm fucking scared.
This is the first time that I've admitted to it, but I work for the Anti-Defamation League, in their World Headquarters. My personal feelings or beliefs have nothing to do with why I work here. To me, it's just a job. We have great security, but I still don't feel comfortable.
There's a large police presence right outside and in Grand Central Station, which is where I take the subway. It's not exactly easing my tension, you know.
I just received an email going around the office from one of the directors here stating that he's received several phone calls regarding the possibility of the National Security Warning Level going up to Red sometime today. Whether or not its true...what can I say, I'm fucking scared.
