I was at my desk at work, glad I live in a country that can hand over the reigns of government every four years and not have a revolution or coup. That is enough for me to be happy about even if the candidate I didn’t vote for is in the Oval Office.

I was at the AADL on the 4th floor board room where they had CNN on the big screen. Afterwards I headed to ABC to have some (as President Obama described it) “bitter swill” to celebrate the day.

I watched in the newsroom, with the rest of the editorial department, and many of the employees from other departments who came up to watch. After it was over, everyone just went back to their desks. I was the only one who clapped. What I really wanted to do was jump up and down and say “America,” slapping fives with everyone within arms reach.

I was watching on PBS in CITI’s Argus Building conference room, simultaneously instant messaging with my son (in the same room), daughter (in Houston), and niece (in Miami Beach).

I was just across the street and down, in the “Primo coffee building”. In our 3rd floor conference room with most of my coworkers, watching the inauguration through a computer projector.

I took down the flag in front of our office building shortly after Bush was elected. I’m thinking of putting it back up!

I wish I could afford a Liberty Lofts condo!!! :)
I was in my classroom with my kiddos…I had them look up certain words in the oath so that they’d better understand it. We had a great time…all my kids want to be president now :)
