Shake, rattle and ROLL........

So like about an hour ago I felt my first (and hopefully last) earthquake. At WORK no less! I was busy just minding my own business folding letters when all of sudden I felt the floor shaking and then the BUILDING shaking. My first thought was "what the hell is this" and then it dawned on me... Im in California. Earthquakes. Oh Crap! It only lasted about 1 minute...seemed longer but still. The building was ROLLING back and forth for what seemed like an Hour. I know you are supposed to stand in the doorway but all I did was just STAND. ...Still. " Real smart" huh! The news says it was 5.4 on the richter scale so it was not that bad. Everyone here at work have been through earthquakes before so they were all laughing at me. I don't care...the office i'm in is on the 5th floor so it was doubly freaky for me. I will take a hurricane, tornado, tsunami over this ANY day. At least you can RUN away or seek shelter..How in God's name are you gonna seek shelter when the SHELTER is moving away from YOU...answer me that...but i digress. Anyway everyone here is okay but this just put the "nail in the coffin" so to speak about my decision to move!
