Just like Carly, yesterday's Earthquake was the shake felt by the East Coast. Now that I actually read some states effected, I definitely should've reached out to family that live in NY and GA. Yesterday was very weird however. During the Earthquake, my building shook and you could see the lights that hung from the ceiling moving like a pendulum. I was calm however but ran out in the hallway to see what was wrong. At first I thought something fell off the wall. My other co-workers were walking around asking were we okay. Bells sounded off throughout my building and I had to make sure that precious cargo left the building. My coworker however asked for her bag while I left all of my belongings on the table. Needless to say during the aftermath of the Earthquake, I didn't have any form of communication (beides the fact nothing was working but twitter). I was outside of my job for about two and a half hours in the damn heat. I took my glasses off to even out my tan. My feet hurt. My lotion slid off my legs making puddles. It was a hot mess literally. I had to stand outside of my work place because it was predicted that another tremor would come at 3:30pm but to no avail. I left work early for the first and probably last time of the whole year.
After leaving work early, I went out to Busboys and Poets to get some drinks and food with some of my co-workers. After the tremors, DC did not stop running. People were outside having a grand time like nothing ever happened. I'm just happy that I was calm throughout the whole ordeal.
