I can now mark being quarantined off the list of things that have happened to me in my life. Technically it was my cubicle area at work that was quarantined, but close enough. I work in a corner of the office that has three cubicles. One of the girls that sits near me opens the mail on a daily basis and today she opened an envelope that had a plastic bag with some powdery looking residue in it.
We hadn't thought much of it for a minute, but then realized that it IS weird to receive a plastic bag in the mail with powdery looking stuff in it. Being the geniuses that we are, we ended up putting the envelope outside under a rock and were told to call the police to be on the side of caution.
The police advised us to seal off our cubicle area until they could look into the matter. The police showed up and sealed the envelope up in plastic bags and took it away. We were eventually given permission to go back into our cubicles and go on with our day and luckily were not surrounded by people in protective E.T. investigation gear. Ultimately, it ended up being particles of paper residue and not some deadly disease outbreak. But just in case a plastic bag shows up the mail at work and you fear your life, throw it outside and toss a rock on top of it....just in case it's a deadly disease.
