Welcome to my life - at work.

Earthquake

July 29th, 2008 (82 views )

An earthquake hit the southern California area today. It registered a 5.8 out in Chino Hills. The earthquake was rolling and smooth on the second floor of our Office building. Coworkers were either under desks or in doorways. The expression on peoples faces was priceless. People looked like rabbits poking out of their holes - looking around wide eyed.

Our CFO was calm and during the rolling went into the conference room and held the wall mounted plasma saying "Relax, it's just an earthquake. Everyone back to work."

At the beginning of the earthquake people were going down the stairs. The stomping of feet down the metal stairs as panic set in and girlish shrieks from male office workers fleeing in terror.

Liz was outside near a grass field that is in the lot next to our building. She had me go into the office to grab her purse and cellphone (since she wanted to go to lunch). One of our designers from Arizona experienced his first earthquake today.

The best quote from lunch is "It's not like Jesus just came back 15 minutes ago."
