I am one brave girl.

I am terrified of heights. My new company has a 19 story building (ok on the great plains out here that is HUGE - this ain't no New York City) and I work on the 4th floor. Our atrium is open all 19 floors and all conference rooms open to the middle. I have a very difficult time during meetings, looking out over that vast, open, empty space. You cannot get away from the fact that you are up a few stories, you can see out of every side. Ok the sunshine is nice etc.... but I have had vertigo since I started.

So yesterday my boss takes us on a tour. We go the 19th floor. We ride the elevators to the 18th (cause the big cheese has the 19th floor and we didn't want to do the walk of shame past his office) and took the stairs. Did I mention all of the stairwells are floor to ceiling windows and the stairs are mesh so you can see thru them? Yeah I love those too, especially at floor 19. So at the top of the stairs, my boss opens the door and we're out on the roof! ON THE ROOF....... outside... 19 stories........ just a small guard rail.......... I can't believe I went out there! I stayed by the wall..nowhere near the edge.. but I was out there.... (picture What About Bob.. I'm sailing, I'm sailing). I did it!!! They wanted me to walk to the edge, but I couldn't do it. They were laughing at me...... but that's ok. I DID IT! I was shaking and had vertigo for a while after at my cube!

To the left of the picture, is the roof I was actually on! It kind of gives you perspective (zoom in on the picture, then you can see the UP symbol and roof better). There were 2 more stories we could have went up on and I said no thanks! The wall jutting out now has my butt imprint on it.....LOL

I have to admit, when we got married in Vegas, I did go out on the roof of the Rio, at 52 stories. We had our wedding dinner there, but INSIDE! They had a high guard rail and I had my hubby to hang onto so it wasn't bad.

Now if I can just get on that plane to Disney.... hehehe. Try to keep me off of it!
