People wondered "where is the green room this morning" - I took the day off!

Today is one of those days when I knew that I would want to be following the news and not really end up getting a lot done.

Calling today a "major historic event" is an understatement.

It's a "where were you?" moment.

That's right - it's my Mom's birthday!!!

Happy Birthday Mom!! (She *does* read the community, and a lot of the entries.)

***

Oh, I've heard there's some other event going on today too.

Finally! Been waiting on this...

It really is a "where were you" moment, and I desperately wish I were home in my living room watching this with my dear hubby-- but I'm at my desk at work. My one consolation is that they're showing the inauguration in the auditorium, although I may just watch at my desk via CNN.com - either way, I will get to see this.

Happy Inauguration Day, everyone!!

My live stream on CNN froze and I refreshed after about 5 minutes and now I can't get it to start again.

We've been watching the coverage off and on between trips to the loo

P.S. We just got a nice-ish nastygram from IT (company-wide) asking everyone to lay off the internet and try to get our work done, because we are apparently grinding all of our servers into the dust. :(

They should just provide ya'll with a big-screen TV in a break room or conference room or something... sheesh!

We used to have one in our building for video conferencing, but we got rid of it because we never used it. *kicks self*

The company I work for anticipated that and streamed it live for everyone, but I took the day off because I didn't want people calling and bugging me for stuff.

My Brando is in DC right now...I miss him at home and wish I could have gone but someone needs to watch the children. He said the atmosphere there is one of hope, love, and brotherhood. I'm happy his first time in DC is such a wonderful even.

It's a beautiful, beautiful day.

I'm sure the atmosphere is also one of "Ow! You stepped on my foot!" too... I'm not a big fan of Crowds O' Doom!

I am awake earlier than usual because the remodel of J's apartment complex goes on and they're turning the water off about *checks watch* nowish. Thankfully one of his roommates knocked on our door to give us about 20 minutes warning.

Also, happy birthday to GaryMom!

I was up earlier but went back to bed as I'm fighting a headache....my dear husband is recording the inauguration (I'm watching live now, but I just got up so I'll watch the swearing in later).

Happy birthday, [livejournal.com profile] clauderainsrm's mom!

I cried off and on for a couple of hours.

It's a mix of emotions I can't really put words to yet.

Anybody else sing the National Anthem with the tv?

I wanted to so bad, but I was at work and I would be the only one.

A lot of intense emotions today.

This is why I took today off. I wanted today, just me, my cats, and my new President. :)

I ended up being at home anyways...because my boss didn't want me there sick...:( pooo!

our employer blocked most of the sites...because anything that's streaming whatever potentially could take down the network.

I think they should have had employees come into a big room and watch it live..

cheap fuckers..

Oh well *sighs*

Hi Greenies!
I'm late coming in here. I tried toget a bit of work done before the ceremonies and all. [livejournal.com profile] imafarmgirl and I listened to the audio described broadcast which was cool. It was nice that ABC gave the feed to the American Council of the Blind internet radio station so we could get the descriptions.
Other than that not much else going on. Hope all are doing ok.

Think I made it in under the top 50. WOW!

Didn't get to see any of the stuff in the morning. Today may be inauguration day but still had to take the puppers to the vet for a very nasty ear infection. Life goes on.

I'll have to listen to what I missed later unfortunitly. Watching the parade right now.

Happy birthday to Gary's mom.

*was sent home by the boss for being sick*

This has been a pretty shitty week thus far... :(

Look like we'll be forced to work full day on Carrie's birthday since we can't afford to take off too many days...

*if you're wondering*... we managed to get food poisoning over the weekend :(
