Just watching the Video makes me want to cry

Yes! LOL! Ad they panned over the floor of the glass room thingee, I said OUTLOUD "No! NO!"

The last time I went up, they had this ridiculous (God, I hope they got rid of it) video and sound presentation acting as if the elevator was going to either bust through the roof, or plummet to the ground...with *warning, warning, warning* alarm sounds. I cant remember, all I know was that I kept saying "THIS IS NOT FUNNY!!!"

I stood at the inside of the observation deck, and never wandered towards the windows.

It's funny as you get older, different things scare you. I used to want to sky dive. I wish I had done it when I wanted to, because now I would rather have my toenails ripped off with pliers, than skydive.

You know, a few years ago I got offered a really GOOD job, in the city, in Sears Tower. More money, better position - just a great job. Two things stopped me - one being, I was pretty happy where I was. Two being - it was waaaaaaay up in the Sears Tower. I can't even believe I got through the interview without crying.

And what is dejr_8 doing on MSNBC again?!?!

Yikes! That does look pretty cool... although I'm not sure if I'd do it or not. I've been up to the the skydeck on the Sears Tower before and I wasn't afraid looking out the window. I was up the Empire St. Building in NYC, leaned up and it didn't bother me. I might just have to try this out someday.
