like a dope i didn't take yesterday off. i knew i could watch from my pc at work. i was flitting from site to site and the streaming vids just weren't doing it for me. way too choppy and they kept freezing. i decided to go to the cafeteria at about 11:00 to see if they had it on the flat screens distributed about. not only did they, they had it on GIANT movie screens (i didn't know they had the screens in there. i should have known because i've seen the projectors on the ceiling). there was only ONE problem - but it was a BIG one.
THEY HAD THE CHANNEL SET TO FAUX 'NEWS'. i couldn't believe my eyes and ears but yup - they did (i later found out another area of the building had msnbc on. DAY-UM i would have gone there).
i sat in that chair from 11 until president obama gave his speech. i cried the WHOLE time as well. it wasn't bad at 11. i was the only one in there. it was REALLY BAD at 12 when the cafeteria was full. a few very nice people who sat with me (strangers) provided me with napkins so i could wipe my face.
i just felt alive again. energized.
