Shake, Rattle, and Roll
So first on a good note, I GOT A JOB!! I am employed at Books A Million. We just opened a new store in the area at the mall.
Last week it was all about getting the store ready for opening day, I worked about 42 hours in 3 days! Thankfully it is not normally like that!
Well today was my first day while the store was opened. It started off great learning my way around, learning the register, and I even got to work in the cafe and learn how to make drinks. That was until 1:51 PM.
(I know it’s old news! But I have to share my account of today’s happenings.) :)
At 1:51 a 5.8 earthquake shook the area (and most of the east coast). I have to say it was very scary and something I could live without going through again.
I felt myself feel like I needed to crouch down on my knees not sure exactly what was going on.(SCARY!!!)
I have been in a minor earthquake before, but it was never anything major, they never cause any damage, you may feel the floor shake, but that was even rare. This one though, it definitely caused some damage in areas. Thankfully in our store there was not much damage. A few signs, and small light fixtures fell, and some small stuff fell off the shelves, but thankfully nothing major!!! An no one was injured.
Other stores in the area were not so lucky and had to close there doors for the day.
At home thankfully I have not found any major damage. Some small stuff was moved around, like the stuff on top of the refrigerator was almost falling off, and one of my plants was almost falling off the railing of our deck.
I did however have 2 extremely scared dogs. Both were sitting by the door when I got home and didn’t make a peep when I came in. (Normally they bark a lot and Edward sits in the window) Edward has not gone back to the window.
To say the least it was a VERY interesting day!!
