I'm about 10 feet from the door and into a parking lot... but have to pass next to a large freestanding piece of furniture unless I jump over the reception desk thingy. Guess I'll have to duck and cover and then run later.

Where? In DC? Yes, that would be wrong since I won't be there and would have missed it by only a day and a hundred miles.

In SF? That's fine for me, I'll pencil it in.

Make sure to watch out for falling glass and other debris as you exit the building. And once in the parking lot, get ready to dodge cars and falling lamp posts! (All the while trying to stay on your feet as the ground under them moves violently.)

5 minutes!

I'd better go pee and call someone.

I didn't feel it.

I of course meant the fake earthquake, not NA's pee.

Though I didn't feel that either.

Me either. If one hits at work I'll die from all the crap* falling off the shelves in my office.

*And by crap I mean computers and monitors. Oh and the giant projection screen.

We had our drill 30 minutes early. I supose that was meant to create some element of surprise after getting detailed evacuation instructions this morning.

Do not panic.
