Walking

 

I've started taking my camera with me to work and just snapping random pictures as I walk. Most of my walking is on my lunchbreak - it's nice to get outside and breathe some fresh air. It's actually nice to even see what the outdoors look like. I practically work in the basement of my building and we have no windows. In case you're wondering, yes, it is quite depressing. And while I'm glad we're going to get some rain this week on Monday and Tuesday, it makes me sad that I won't really get to go for my walk outside unless I feel like bringing my umbrella!

Danger!

So that's a picture of the sidewalk I usually walk on every day to and from work. Walking by all of that construction equipment and stuff...I think I deserve some type of hazard pay. Just the other day they blocked off the sidewalk to do some work on it, which leaves walking through a jam packed parking lot or walking in the street. I don't care for either option, but the parking lot is safer than the street, even though it's wicked inconvenient. Bastards. Sometimes I hate you downtown!

On a completely unrelated note - I was running a bit late to work this morning and bolted out the door sans cell phone. Wow did I feel naked without it! I have to admit, I'm kind of paranoid to be without it. What if my car breaks down? What if I need to get in touch with someone? Good thing was I did have my work Blackberry with me, and I do have a few phone numbers memorized. Even so, I did constantly consider turning around on my ride to work just to get my phone. That's sad!

Funny

I did see these signs the other day when I was out walking...kind of made me laugh!

A Few Pictures

Here's Harold - he was a Christmas present at work. Then one day someone stuck him in the ceiling, and he's been hanging up there ever since. Then today he stole my Rice Krispies Treat. Little bastard...

A shot of downtown Raleigh from near historic Boylan Heights. I was on a nice long walk on my lunch break.

Here's a picture of me & Avery! She's getting so big! And look at those gigantic blue eyes...just like her mom's.
