Today I'm sharing two true stories about funny encounters I had while working at N. C. State University
1. Physics
**What Goes Up must go down
I thank Kim from Musing of a Small life
for reminding me of this phrase and story**
My office was on 4th floor. 95% of the time I took the stairs to the Physics office on 1st floor. One particular day I had a lot to carry so I decided to use the elevator. I watched the elevator climb quickly from 1st to 5th floor without stopping. Then back down from 5th to 1st without stopping. Each time this happened I pressed down again. After about 10 minutes of watching this bizarre behavior it the doors opened but I was told by the four students I could not get on. WHAT the HECK? Few seconds later it came back to 4th...I GOT ON THIS TIME in spite of being told not to get on. They all had balls in their hands. It turns out they were doing some type of experiment for a Physics course. I think they bounced the ball timing it as they went up and down. Never really understood what it was but one of the students told me that much.
WHAT GOES UP MUST GO DOWN

2. Organic Chemistry
My first day in Chemistry was quite alarming and all because I wanted to make a pot of coffee. Just across from my office was a rather odd looking water fountain. Imagine my surprise/horror, when an alarm went off and water shot straight up into my face. A graduate student came running out of his lab in full rescue MOD. When he saw me, he said 'stay right there while I turn off the call for EMS.' WHAT THE HECK!!! Of course, I was too mortified to move. The nice grad student quickly returned with some towels to dry me off and to wipe up all the water on the floor. While trying not to laugh he said, "Hi I'm Bill, you must be our new administrative assistant." Bill turned out to be one of my favorite grad students.
Turns out that was not a water fountain it was an eye wash station only to be used in dire emergencies to wash face/eyes if one got chemicals in their face. Beside it I noticed there was a shower head in the ceiling...that was for a full body wash if need be.

As you learned (secretly) from Rocky on Monday, he overhead Dad making an appointment for me with Dr. Renee. Rocky was probably right not to tell me after all, we all know there was no changing the mind of Dad...I was gonna go.
I went to see Dr. Renee & my adoring vet techs today. I received shots, glucose check, & lots of love❣️
Rocky stayed with me for a while as soon as I returned home.
For you early birds yesterday, I send apologies for 2 posts in one day.
I had to copy the Tuesday post into a new one. I tried to change the date to post tomorrow so I would not lose comments but blogger would not let me.
If your world was rumbling yesterday, it was probably Angel Madi grumbling. She would have issued lots and lots of demerits for that blunder.

On November 23, 2024 at 5:12 pm we had the most incredible sunset show.
This is how it started...the sunset was even in the Eastern skies snapped from our drive way facing EAST. The entire neighborhood had a pink hue. Even reflecting in our car windows.
Our house faces North as I continued snapping this is now the snap approximately
Northwesterly
