Was working away yesterday, alternating between glaring at the monitor and banging my head against the desk when all of a sudden I felt like I was shaking. Huh. Maybe I'm banging my head against the desk too hard? No...
I turned around to see if maybe they were washing the windows or doing work on the building but no...
Everyone who wasn't at lunch was on a conference call and they didn't seem to feel anything...
Maybe I'm having some sort of brain issue? I bet this is similar to what an earthquake feels like.
About 30 seconds after it started, it stopped, I was puzzled but quickly forgot as Access started thwarting me again. After awhile I looked over at the Internet and saw that social media had exploded. Apparently there WAS an earthquake. Now, in MI, I'm pretty far removed than my illustrious co-author is but I still felt it. After getting confirmation from other MI dwellers that they felt it too, we all kinda went huh, really? Earthquake?
But all was fine and re-focused on my database when I remembered that Tilly was by herself at the apartment. Mah baybee! (Totally dismissed the cats, was sure they were fine. Am a bad pet parent, playing favorites). It was still a couple hours before I left and by the time I got back I was envisioning her as another character in the land before time looking at me with those baby dinosaur eyes all where were you during the big earth shake? Hey, don't judge, Littlefoot and co traumatized me as a kid. I swear I still see that T-Rex eye pop open in my nightmares.
Of course, she was fine and all animals seemed completely unaffected.
I totally gave Till some shredded cheese on top of her dog food, though.
