I hope none of our Chi'istas work in the Citibank building downtown, or travel thru the Ogilvie metra station. The whole place is in lockdown.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

howcome, aurelia?
My afternoon classes gave my subs hell yesterday. Today, they are silent and as well-behaved a group as one could hope for. It helps that I went all medieval on their asses and am torturing them with copying out of a book. Which we might do every day until the end of the year, because they are quiet this way. And when they are quiet, I don't feel so vomitty.
I'm allergic to my 5th and 6th period classes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I just got an email from a friend. Guess I'll be taking the CTA home....

One or more people have been shot in the building - a Metra train station is in the building so they're shut down.

From the Chicago Tribune:
Keegan Greene, who works at Verizon Wireless on the first floor was helping a customer when fire alarms began going off.
"One of the security guards came up to us and started saying, "Run, run, run, run, run!" Green said.
Not something you want to hear from a security guard.

Gunman in the building, people shot, looks like most of Chicago's police, fire and emergency medical staff are there. TV is saying it's been resolved, but it's gonna be a mess for a while. The response was massive, so whatever office was hit must've been big.
Metra will NOT be running tonight.
