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.

Thanksgiving 2015 Flashback

When she found me napping on their bed,

she called me a

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.

I then retreated to my beds & slept the rest of the afternoon while the peeps went out for anniversary lunch. 

Dr. Renee said I’m her Star ⭐️ Patient❣️

JUST so YOU all Know

we love all the kind and loving comments you leave on Auntie HiC's blog

❤️ Kat

Dearest Kat you are a bright shining star and a wonderful brovver and nephew.

Much love from your adoring auntie

HiC 

Happy Tuesday Take 2 and reminder FFF

 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.  

Thank you to our

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.

Still facing EAST

Our house faces North as I continued snapping this is now the snap approximately

Northwesterly

This snap is 100% West

This breathtaking sunset put on a show for about 12 minutes...til the clouds moved in.

Reminder Friday November 29th join YAM for FFF

Dearest Auntie HiC

As you know, I, Rocky, had to go to the vet recently! 🙀

I have been itching, scratching & chewing on myself to the point where I’ve created hotspots. 😿

Dr. Renee gave me a steroid (Depo-Medrol) shot & said I’ll be feeling much better real soon.

Mom tried to get a picture of the hotspots but I was not cooperative! 😹

I’ve been giving Mom the “stink eye” all afternoon! 😼

Kat could smell the vet on me when I got home, and has been providing comfort❣️

I didn’t tell Kat I heard Dad make an appointment for him to have his annual exam, vaccines, & glucose check. No need to make him worry until necessary, & I’ll be there for him after his appointment. 😻

Lovingly your nephew,

❤️ Rocky

********************

ROCKY this crazy up and down weather and changes in heat and ac inside.  It can give us the itches too.

THANK GOODNESS DR Renee was there and all your adoring  vet techs.

I bet you will feel  better very soon.

I agree no need worrying Kat.  

I love how caring he is in spite of vettie odors.  I know you will give him the same loving attention when he comes home.

Loving and healing hugs 

Your Auntie HiC 🥰🫶🏻‼️

Selfie Sunday

EMW on my way home I kept hearing the most beautiful tweets...

I looked high and low and lo and behold I saw this sweet tweet was right in front of of me.

Perched on the planter hook

I think it was a Carolina Wren
