I'm imagining everything that could fall off. It's....well, guess I'll go home and see.
Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

The news is telling me that Boston felt the quake, but I certainly didn't!

Also, I mean, unless I'm missing something, it sounds very much like you will never actually be considered for this job.
Well, if they cancel & reannounce with "selective placement factors", which are specific requirements necessary for the position (beyond a degree or x years of experience), then they will be able to hire me. But it's going to be tricky defining them.

Frank, we were probably most likely to feel it because my actual office area is on a beam that bridges two buildings across a street. A coworker said, "Am I drunk?? Or did the building just move???" Hee.
Apparently other people in the buidling here felt it. Things are a little hectic in my area, so the building shaking probably just felt like par for the course for the last two days.

Ah, gotcha... that at least makes a little more sense than I thought at first!

One wooden thing fell off the shelf (and it does that when I walk by sometimes) and a couple picture frames fell over. Can't tell if the hanging frames are crooked, they may have started out that way. Off to pool.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Skipping to check in, all is well in this part of Virginia, around Charlottesville. My first earthquake!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Have now received no fewer than six emails/voicemails regarding the status of our DC HQ. Something tells me the reverse doesn't happen when the LA office undergoes an earthquake. @@.

Calistas, how earthquake-proofed is your home? I don't have anything framed hanging over anywhere I sleep, but nothing is tacked to the wall. I do have a tall bookshelf near my bed, and a tall lingerie chest of drawers, but because of the angles they can't fall on me, although they can dump their contents onto me.
The sleep cave is very earthquake-safe. Tall bookshelves are bracketed to the wall and I always make sure my kitchen cabinets are firmly closed. Otherwise, no. But I am happy I no longer work in a liquefaction zone.

There are five cars parked outside my house and people I've never seen before just hanging out in the street talking. It's a bit odd.
