This morning I looked down from the 40th floor and watched all the people walking to work. I have one more day to join the throng in the morning.
Tonight a co-worker and I went to Rockefeller Square to see the tree. Neither of us had gone before. It really is beautiful in person. There were some skaters out on the ice and we considered renting some skates however decided our desert blood couldn't take the cold too much longer. We wandered down a few blocks to Connelly's Pub & Restaurant. Good food! And I was happy as I walked in to see the Flyers vs Rangers game on TV and Yuengling beer on the menu :)
A quick stop at Starbucks and off we went to find a cab. Our cabbie to the Center figured out quick we didn't know where we were going and took the long way. How did we figure it out? It cost us $10 less to get home.....we didn't walk that far from the Center to get the cab home. Ahh...lesson learned. One of these times we'll figure out the subway.
In our office we had a fire drill on our floor. I saw the sign in the morning and thought - my luck, we'll have to evacuate and we're on the 46th floor! As it turned out, no evacuation but I did get a lesson on high rise fire procedures. The lead guy (I forget his title!!) explained what went on and why. Very organized, very together. I was impressed. Hopefully our building will never have to truly test the process. So, I got some stairs in as we had to practice leaving our floor to our entry point 5 floors below. Of course, I then took the elevator back up :)
No profound thoughts today. We'll see what tomorrow brings.
