Oops

I think it has been long enough ago that I can laugh at this. My co worker and I decided to spend last Wednesday completely cleaning out the storage room at work. It was the first time in three years that I could see the floor of that room. We spent hours going through everything and finding a nice neat place for it. It was beautiful!

We finished and were standing in the room putting a few odds and ends away when all of a sudden we heard a low rumbling sound. Before we knew it the entire wall of shelves CAME OFF THE WALL CRASHING INTO US! We didn't even have time to move (although I swear it looked like it happened in slow motion).

All our hard work :( So I was near the doorway when it happened and only got hit in the thigh by a box of play scripts. (The hole in the picture is exactly where I was. And the heavy box of scripts is on the left). My co worker was in the MIDDLE of the room standing right behind that metal dolly in the right side of the first picture. The dolly saved her! She would have been crushed by the shelf! She got pelted with many things and has some nasty bruises the poor thing.

I had to literally dig her out of there- she was covered to her knees! We were laughing to the point of tears the whole time (cuz if we didn't laugh we probably would have cried).

When I told Scott about it (with sound effects and re-enactments) he just laughed the whole time! He thought it was a little funny how traumatized I was by an "almost, sort of, could-have-been near death experience" (my words).

He just said, "Heather, do you have any idea how many times I've almost died at work?"

What? That led to a whole other conversation
