Rumor Has It

There's a rumor making the rounds of my office that the 14th floor of our building is on fire. But no one seems inclined to do anything about it, which leads me to suspect that a) this rumor is not true, or b) we will all be burned up because of our determined nonchalance.

I really hope the answer is "a" because here I am, still sitting in my cube, not being evacuated from a supposedly burning building.

In other news, I went for a jog this morning along the horse trails in my town, and ran smack into a huge spider web. Is there any better way to start the morning than with the possibility that a black widow or a brown recluse or some other equally horrible arachnid has gotten stuck in your hair? Well, in my opinion, NOT running into the spider web would have been one of those better ways. But maybe that's just me.

Speaking of jogging in the morning, I have been doing it on a fairly regular basis now over the past month, and there is one main thing that I have learned from the experience: you can train your body to wake up early in the morning, but that will not make you a morning person. Trust me.
