Day Three: GFZ

I'm still learning to cope with the weight in my pocket being a Blackberry and not a J-frame. I think it'll take awhile.

Granted, I work in what should be a safer environment, but that means nothing.

Personal safety is a game of odds. You do everything you can to sway the odds in your favor.

Unfortunately, the odds are ALWAYS in the gremlins favor.

If a thug decided to come to my JOGI and shoot the place up, there is NO WAY to stop it. All we can do is reduce the odds it will happen and increase the odds of our surviving the ordeal.

To that end, I do have a few plans and procedures in place should an event occur. And, one of my first duties is to create the crisis plan (for the media at least). But, it's a starting point. Maybe, just maybe, this may be a GFZ in a few years.

Until then, I have to make the daily decision to leave Mr. XD in the car safe.

Ok, your post today peaked my curiosity.

What is it that you do?

"Maybe, just maybe, this may be a GFZ in a few years."

Uh, didn't you mean NON-GFZ?

Wish my workplace had a brain.

Just remember that everything around you is a potential weapon. Look around and think of ways to use everything within reach.

Whatever it is, It is advertized as a Job Of Great Importance..... it can't possibly be anything involved with Gubmint.

Hecate, as usual haste makes for bad typing.

Yes, I hope that this will NOT be a GFZ in the future.

Kent, I appreciate the reminder, but in my world the weapon rests between my ears. Everything else is merely a tool.

Angela;

I hate to do this, but I must again turn to the words of the legendary Capt. Mal Reynolds:

"You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery."

"I hate to do this..." I doubt you hate anything having to do with The Cult of The Browncoat.
