This is why quarantine is a GOOD thing

Looks like the Zombie invasion has been confined to the US and Europe, at least for the time being.

I suspect this is because no self-respecting zombie wants to spend that much time on a plane. It's bad enough when you are alive, I can't imagine what it's like when rigour mortis starts to set in.

If they ever do make it to Australia, I'm not that worried - it's hard to lurch at a decent speed when your body is contorted like a right-angled pretzel. I certainly doubt they could manage the stairs to my apartment.

Still. Perhaps I'll go out and hunt up Shaun of the Dead Zombie killing instructions, just in case. Better safe than sorry, after all.

confused? And yeah, we're a little bit behind in Australia...

Oh, yeah, *you* don't have zombies. Well, don't get too comfy- right angled pretzels or not, you have any *idea* how hungry they'll be after flying all the way to Australia with nothing but airplane food and a few flight crew?

This morning, the highway was littered with them, clutching their mocha cappuchinos, and talking on their cellphones..wait, that was the commuters. The zombies were the ones lurching along the side of the road grasping futilely at bumpers.. Actually the drivers around Boston seemed to relish the challenge and honors were about even.

But once I got into work, it was rough. Currently there are several clawing at the employee entrance. The ones that tried to assault the lobby were given employment applications to fill out, though, which seems to have stymied them for the moment. (They're having trouble with the 'prior experience' section.)

And as bob_ette pointed out, rigor mortis wears off after a few hours. So I can't count on the ultra-stiff zombies for saviour. But at least the zombies could snack on the other passengers - I can't imagine that an entire planeful of zombies would want to come here, and I'm sure the other passengers would have mistaken them for extremely jet-lagged travellers. At first, anyway...

If the Zombies arrive, perhaps we shall have to import the Boston Commuters (does that sound like a sports team to you?) to deal with them.

I'm feeling safe about work - one of the joys of the public service is that the secretaries have guns >) If they get past the lobby, I intend on throwing the project's new grads at them while I make my escape. It's the joys of no longer being the lowest on the totem pole :)
