An interesting epiphany.

After over 4 weeks (I think?) of my new job, I've been to the Pentagon quite a few times. I never felt unsafe going there, but sometimes I just get this thought in the back of my mind like, hey, maybe I should tell Scott I'll be there from 1-4 today (like I was today, and which I did tell him) just in case. After a lengthy meeting I walked down the hall with my PM, who has worked at the Pentagon for quite some time. "Over here", he points out, "is right where the plane hit."

Um, what?

I just kind of look around and say "wow, I can't believe that..." Meanwhile I'm like yeah I'm ready to go back to my cube that is NOT at the Pentagon. So then I come home and start doing a bit of research about that day, and find something that honestly scared me a bit. Go click on this website. Pay no attention to the conspiracy theory crap, that's not my point. See that box, "Wedge 1", that's highlighted and the list of 8 rooms? Well, the room I happened to be in, and the room I will be in at least 3 times a month happens to be block #7 in that diagram.

Back to the Pentagon, same room, on Thursday. I think I'll view it all a little bit differently than I did before.
