You know that creepy back hallway you need a security badge to get out of that I mentioned yesterday? Well, here it is…
Never know who might be lurking in there that might want to just wander into our work area and steal our valuable…erm…pens and pencils.
Take a look at the ceiling…it’s evidence that the building is a converted parking garage.

Where I work, if you don’t have a security badge, you can’t get back from the dimly lit hall where the bathrooms are to the office without wedging the door open with a trashcan. We’ve been told this is a serious security violation as that could lead to just anyone wandering in.
There used to be a “guest” badge for visitors of the building to borrow — you know, those folks who have meetings in the conference room, consultants, schmucks who’ve left their real security badges on their bathroom sinks next to their watches…but a visiting contractor who was installing the new video part of the improved security system borrowed it and never returned it.
So…a big part of my day today was committing security violations and here’s the photo to prove it.

Since the beginning of December, I’ve been going twice a week to physical therapy in this warm water pool to treat my fibromyalgia. This week I’m switching to once a week on land and once a week in the water. I’m going to miss the comfort of not sweating during my aerobic workout.
However, an hour in warm water always makes me a little “rushed” afterward…just saying.

You wouldn’t know it from looking at my desk at work, but I really have cut way down on my caffeine. I’m just way too sleepy now to carry the empties to the recycle bin.
By the way, I edited this picture using the online editor at pxn8.com, which I heard about from Amber Rhea (PXN8: Awesome online photo editor) a while back and for some reason saved the post. Maybe I fore-knew that I’d be lured into this challenge.
One of the things I’ve noticed just in this week is that I’m going through life looking at things just a little bit different already. I look at everything as a possible picture, as a possible future picture…I think I’m even going through life a little slower. I’m definitely taking a closer, observatory look at the world around me as I drive to work or walk around or get ready for work or whatever. When I look at other people’s pictures, I’m trying to figure out how they captured the shot, the lighting, the angle, etc. I have a deeper appreciation for the more difficult shots.
I’ve been wondering if other folks have noticed this change in themselves.
And…it’s encouraged me to improve myself. I’ve ordered books on beginning photography and gadgets like the Monster Pod and Gorillapod Flexible Tripod and put a better camera on my wishlist all in the hopes of improving my ability so that by the end of this project, I’m not just snapping shots, I’m creating art.
