I've become a pod person

Yesterday, Obama was sworn in. Half my office was in the kitchen watching. I was at my desk trying to finish up a presentation. A friend came by and tried to get me to move my butt, but I just didn't see the point.

I got my work done and moved on.

Then this morning I had a bit of a flash back. Its 2001 on a lazy September Detroit morning. I'm walking through the reception area at the office and on the plasma tv they keep showing this airplane crashing into the world trade center.

I was in shock. The receptionist turns up the sound, and I stay riveted. Eventually, the entire reception area is full of us just watching. I'm there for a couple of hours with others just taking it all in.

I eventually get back to my desk, and one of my coworkers Michelle calls me. She had been at a client. I tell her what has just happened. Her response, "oh my goodness. Does that mean we won't have the hospital meeting this afternoon? Have you finished the presentation?"

My mouth fell open. That is what she was worried about. I told her no I don't think we have the meeting. We will reschedule.

This morning I realized I pulled a Michelle yesterday. Not good.
