It’s been a long week, man. Making a magazine is hard. I am majorly drained. Yaaaaaawn.
Yes, we felt the earthquake. I was at work when things started shaking. Our boss announced, “Everybody outside!” and we all ran for our lives into the parking lot. I guess that’s our official emergency plan. A little scary, I know. Once we all got out of the building safely, we turned to poor Lola, our intern from Georgia, who had this look of HOLY CRAP. And we were like, oh, that’s right. Georgia doesn’t have earthquakes, is this your first one? She nodded yes and then we all cheered. Welcome to California! When it was all over, I went back to my computer and Matt and I simultaneously Gchatted each other “EARTHQUAKE!” I then emailed my mom, dad and sis to ask if they were OK (it’s faster than calling) and they answered yes. Phew.
What else? There’s work … work … oh yes, and work. Will update more once I rise from the abyss.

It was a fun earthquake, it felt like a P wave (like surfing in the office) instead of a S wave. We thought it was the AC turning on (we have an old AC in the office that rumbles the whole office when it starts.)
