Unfortunately, my second crack at tremor surfing was rather... lacking?
I was at work at The Big Box Store, juggling four incoming phone lines and a line up of customers at the service desk when everything started swaying (and it was definitely more of a sway than a shake - think standing on a boat). The managers in the office off the service desk were freaking out and scrambling for the door way (picture three *cough*hysterical*cough* women hugging each other in a single-wide doorway). Me?
I stood there, continuing to answer the phone. Derp.
The managers were screaming at me to get in a doorway; the customers were telling me to get in a doorway; I was arguing that I needed to get the phone. Plus? I felt kinda guilty seeking shelter while the customers stood in the middle of the aisle with no protection. By the time I got my wits about me, put the damned phone down, and moved my ass to a doorway, it had stopped.
Yeah, I rock. *snort*
This has happened to me too. There was an earthquake in CA and we felt the after shock here. It just felt like waves. Anyways I was sitting on the floor picking up toys. My husband jumps up and gets in a door way and I couldn't figure out why. Only after it stopped did I realize what one is supposed to do in an earthquake.
ReplyDeleteYou sound like a Californian. Better things to do than deal with the earthquake that's happening. lol Or better yet....all of the people who never even get out of bed when one happens.
