i was in total delight!
squealing in the elevator.
i was also pleased that i got out of the manual labor that they tricked me into today.

p.s.
have you seen the 7th floor?
there is NOTHING on it.
in it
and around it.

There are things, like people from my (the Social Studies) department.

And there's the mini photo studio.

must be on the other side
because it was a bunch of bare cubes on the side i was on.

Considering I said "no I've got work to do" to a group of twenty colleagues who were walking over to our science building to watch the launch, I'm prepared to say you're not abnormal.

Or maybe I'm abnormal, too.

i take solace in both of those possibilities.

I wasn't interested either. I went, though, because that meant 15 minutes of excused time of doing nothing.

LOOK AT THE SHUTTLE. WHOOP-DEE-FUCKING-DOO.

I think I said something like that up there and it offended people. Oh well.

I always found every Shuttle launch to be amazing, but it's because I grew up obsessed with space and wanted to be an astronaut. Watching the whole thing made me really homesick and sad. Sometimes I miss being a kid.

most of the time, i miss being a kid too.

P.S. I also feel abnormal when people bring in their babies and everyone in my department gathers around them to ga-ga and goo-goo over them, because I am not interested in looking at babies.

They are doing that right now.

i mean, it's cool and all, but i don't care much either.
