"Bruce Palmer" wrote in message et... If you look at a picture of Madison Square Garden you'll see 2 parts: the round arena part and a 30-story office building part. One of my clients is in the office building part also known as 2 Penn Plaza. I spoke with someone there earlier today where they're running a skeleton shift this week and allowing any employee who can work from home to do so. Among other things they run a fairly sizable IBM mainframe system. They have a contract with Iron Mountain services which is a company that maintains offsite storage of backup tapes. These backup tapes are rotated in weekly and monthly cycles. Monday is the day Iron Mountain makes its pickups and today their plain-white panel van snaked through Manhattan traffic towards the fortress that is Madison Square Garden and 2 Penn Plaza. Hilarity ensued when the driver was stopped by the police and secret service several blocks short of his destination. Much fun was had by all. Especially the driver, Abdullah. He got the tapes but only after parking half a mile away and carting the tapes away from the building on a dolly. I can just hear him at work this morning... "You want me to drive this plain-white van _where_?" Poor bugger. I wonder, would the same thing happen to a "Joe" or "Pete" (white, Anglo-Saxon) etc? http://149.137.107.8/home/homeJ.html user id: Guest password: Guest |
