Not Blogging Like It's the End of the World
Someone came up with an interesting idea today -- Blog Like It's the End of the World. Lots of people sign up to write their weblogs as though a Zombie Apocalypse is happening (examples in the June 13th, 2007 entries here, here, here, and here with video). Bloggers even cross-over with each other's narratives. Entertaining and reflective of the increase in popularity of zombie fiction over the past several years, to say nothing of the various new zombie movies (e.g., Resident Evil, the remake of Dawn of the Dead, 28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later, etc.). There are various problems with this, of course-- namely that if you don't know anyone who's participating, it's hard to know who's going to be a good writer and who isn't (check the list of participants-- it's long). I did read through some of them, though, and while I had no desire to write one of my own, it did get me thinking of what I might have written....
NIST would not have been a bad place to be when a zombie apocalypse went down. It's a fenced-off complex with controlled access from armed police-forces. There are probably preset plans in place to shut the complex down in the event of an attempt at unauthorized access (the government is a bit paranoid owing in part to the fact that we have a nuclear reactor, euphemistically referred to as "The Neutron Research Center"). Even in the event of infiltration (in the unlikely event someone might have shown up sick to work) all of the buildings have controlled access with fire-safe doors that can only be opened from the outside if you have a security card. You can't even access the other buildings from the main building, directly. Plus, it's a self-contained complex with plenty of food available in the cafeteria. So this would actually be a pretty safe place to be when dealing with a zombie apocalypse. I presume the situation is similar at other government laboratories and suburban federal complexes.
So, just in case you are trying to be prepared-- get a job with a large government agency if you want to increase your chances of survival in the event of a zombie apocalypse. Stay safe!
