What's this?

We had a man who hates heights up on a man lift 40 feet up

changing a bulb on a sodium light in the parking lot. He was not pleased

We also had customers in from California. We were all sitting in the conference room and they stayed seated and were just kind of looking around while the rest of us uninitiated were flying around doing a Chinese fire drill getting the hell out of the building. Laughing now thinking about how cool they were

I remember seeing the lights up in the ceiling (30 feet up or so) swaying like crazy, then seeing waves going up the 10 inch steel columns that hold the building up. They looked like somebody trying to crack a bullwhip. That was eye opening.
