All the info we had was what customers coming in were telling us, until I got home later and watched the coverage. Little did I know at the time, the events that morning would impact my life much more than I initially thought...Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15846300682476240830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7176507594253406937.post-40489007043569391252009-09-13T16:42:58.122-05:002009-09-13T16:42:58.122-05:00I was sitting on my futon in my efficiency apartme...I was sitting on my futon in my efficiency apartment watching Martha Stewart before I left for school.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03449722120645555072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7176507594253406937.post-85156938239607921382009-09-11T17:00:57.492-05:002009-09-11T17:00:57.492-05:00Interestingly enough I had read that Michael Jorda...Interestingly enough I had read that Michael Jordan was returning to basketball after retiring and turned the tv on that morning to see more reports on it.

I did not hear about the events on our ride together as he enjoyed listening to Tejano music while driving. I arrived at work and Colin told me the news. He always is the one that breaks the bad news to me. Debbie downer, that Colin (love him anyway). The only TV at our place of business was in the warehouse. We all huddled around that tiny TV and watched as the second tower fell. Colin and I went to his house for lunch to watch more coverage. I will never forget a co-worker saying something along the lines of "business for us may pick up." You see, that place of business built circuit board cleaning machines and there were some businesses in the area of ground zero that would probably need to clean up their boards and what-not. I thought that was so insensitive and vulgar. Rachel, I went out with you a few nights after 9-11 to celebrate your birthday. Remember that? What a bummer birthday that was.
