Following Eeyore

Jul 29, 2008 12:15

Headphones are on blasting music. I've got Photoshop open, and I'm tweaking some ad banners. And that's when I feel the rumble below my feet, thinking it's just a crew of people wheeling shit around the lobby, 'cuz that seems to happen a lot around here. Then it suddenly escalates - and I whirl out of my chair, straight to the underbelly of my desk. The shaking continues for another good minute or two.

It's a crisis!

Well... no. Nobody panicked - they just filed out to the lobby and turned on ABC News, reporting that there was just a 5.6 earthquake in Chino. In Chino! Pretty strong shit to have been felt this greatly all the way here in Burbank. Our crisis team members on the 2nd floor paraded by with picture signs asking us to follow them out the building. So Eeyore led me outside, across the street, into lazy sunlight for 5 minutes before returning inside, now back at my desk. I wish I'd taken my computer with me. It's very unreal how long it's been since CA's been hit with a large earthquake.

Wasn't the beginning of the end for us Angelinos supposed to happen about 20 years ago?

moments, happenings
