My throat was dry and I could feel the sweat starting in my armpits, but I saw my reflection in the glass door and knew that I looked outwardly calm. Someone came out. I walked a bit faster and snaked my hand into the doorway before it could catch. I took the first hallway on the left and looked for Tech Support. It was the fourth door down; a large, noisy room with low cubicles and poor lighting. Perfect. I headed for an empty cube. I chose one close to the exit and went to work. Routine stuff - a few basic Windows questions, and one guy trying to configure a modem. I was just about to break for lunch when the alarms went off. I tried to run, but two burly guards blocked my path. As I was cuffed and led out the door, the senior rent-a-cop explained: "Grad students. We get two or three in here a month. They try to sneak in and pass themselves off as real people." b r e t t -- I am one mean bastard / With lighter fluid / Instead of brains I am a lightning rod for being lighter fluid brain man And one mean bastard / Instead of brains. --jjoy
