Well, you can pretty much imagine what I did all day…<\/p>\n

First was Attack on America<\/a>, where I was given approximately 35 minutes to whip up a database script and pages to report ongoing events in New York City as it happened… and the newsroom wanted us going live by 10 AM.<\/p>\n

Hey. You know me. Piece of cake.<\/p>\n

Then, around 1PM, Our publisher announced on tv about our web coverage, and the paper is printing a special edition at 5PM. entitled: “Terror in the U.S.<\/a><\/p>\n

Talk about a mob scene. This paper is already a collector’s item.<\/p>\n

Then they wanted a “web version”…<\/p>\n

That’s okay. I didn’t mind throwing myself into my work today… even seeing pictures of places I hung out, worked, had lunch… now covered in 6 inches of debris. Or AP pictures that was deemed “sickening”, even by my standards. <\/p>\n

As long as I don’t have to think about all of the friends and family I have, that work in the financial district.<\/p>\n

That I may never hear from again….<\/p>\n

I throw myself into my work, and I don’t have to think about this very surrealistic day… which I know, things will never be the same no matter what.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
