Thank goodness, it was just an earthquake.

so my job at the Tax Commission has been going pretty well. It is pretty mindless work so I get to listen to books and music all day... which I like but will eventually get bored of. On Thursday I even got there early so I could leave at 2:30pm. Getting up early involved a bit of a change in routine, so at about 7:30am when my computer screen looked like it was moving I started taking deep breaths and telling myself that I was fine and if I needed to get up and take a break I could. I blinked a couple of times and relaxed my shoulders. I then opened my eyes and noticed the cord for my earphones was swinging quite a bit and heard a couple of people asking if they felt that. Needless to say I was relieved that my coworkers did not see me having an anxiety attack (which usually involves puking), but I quickly moved onto being afraid that I was going to be crushed to death in an earthquake because my cubicle wouldn't provide enough protection. Don't worry though everything turned out all right and I am obviously still alive.
