Running Around On The Roof

One day in the Spring of 2000 I was busy working at Startups.com and I noticed Andrea, who was the admin at the time, opening a storage closet in the hallway just outside of the main office. From my vantage point I could see that there was a built-in ladder with roof-top access. This seemed like a good opportunity to go on an outside adventure. There was nothing Andrea could do to stop me. I walked into the closet, up the ladder and before I knew it I was on the roof.

Freedom! Whoo Hoo!

I then began to run laps around the roof which spanned the entire company at the time. I had a wonderful time Running, yelling, skipping and jumping for joy!

Meanwhile downstairs in the conference room there was an important meeting going on.

After I became tired of running around the roof I came back down the ladder, through the closet and into the main office to sit at my desk and get back to work.

It must have been obvious who had been the one running around on the roof because just then Danny came out of the meeting and gave me quite an earful.

But it was all worth it.

I apologized and the next time I went roof-top exploring I was sure to do it in stealth mode.
