The Sky is falling...the sky is falling

Ok...not really the sky but the ceiling in my office. This is of course completely my fault. At the office we had a little "Secret Santa" exchange. My co-worker purchased 22 star ornaments for me. Well... I don't really have a place for these at home, so I decided to hang them from the ceiling in my office. (We have a very casual office. Movie posters from our favorite movies are in the hallway, a very large bow on my co-workers door, and so on).

After about killing myself by attempting to hang the stars standing on my desk and swivel chair w/wheels, I was bothered by the one ceiling tile that had a unseemly water stain. The office next to mine has recently been vacated...so being the efficient person I am, I thought I could just switch them out. I removed the ugly tile from my office, took the pretty tile out of the other office, installed the ugly tile in the other office...all was going well the first 75% of the job.

While installing the pretty tile in my office, I slipped a bit on my desk and thankfully caught myself. The tile was not that fortunate. I dropped it. It broke into 3 pieces over my desk chair. I now had tile debris all over my office, several pieces of a tile, and a rather large hole in my ceiling.

I had to fess up to the maintenance guy what I did. He came and put in a new tile within a matter of hours. The cleaning people even vacuumed out my office (something I don't think they have done since I moved up here six months ago). All and all it turned out pretty well. I put back the stars that fell this morning. Very inspiring. I have not fallen from my desk yet, which if you know me is a shear miracle.

I feel much better about the non-water stained tile but I think I may get a crick in my neck from starring at the ceiling so much.
