So... who'll be sneaking a peek while at work like me?? I purposely scheduled some meetings around the actual swearing in/speech portion of the day. I have a feeling the collective productivity around the country will hit rock bottom around that time!

In case things don't work out... got the Tivo recording back home.


BTW... why isn't this either: a) a holiday... b) a weekend... c) at night??

I get to work from home today as our offices are in and around DC. Funny - the traffic report - very light traffic going into Northern Virginia. Oh well, I'm not complaining.

I am watching as we speak - lot's o people on the mall.

Btw, it should be a holiday.

Enjoy!

I'll probably take a peek unless I'm in the middle of something that can't wait.

Interesting bit on NPR this morning about how newspapers have run extra copies in anticipation of increased sales today. That's the trouble with electronic media: There's nothing tangible left to the historic record.

Mr. Kimburg and I are watching the "pre-game" coverage now, as I get ready for work. Hopefully, the powers at the Big Bean will let us watch on the telly in the conference room today. (However, the family who owns the business are staunch, die-hard Republicans, so they're not too thrilled...)

Nope, got too much to do today. The essential parts will probably be re-shown 1,000 times over, so I'm not worried.

At home with laptop on my lap and flipping between the network channels knowing they are all showing the same footage. Ha!

Trying to get it online. So far, MSNBC is working the best for me. Only a few minor hiccups. I really wish I was near a tv.

The boss stayed home to watch it. The V.P. is home sick (most likely watching it). At the office we set up the t.v. Right now I'm the only one not sitting right in front of it... but will be soon.

Anyone got a link to where I can watch or listen to it? Hopefully listen, as that would be less distracting during work. My bf's going into town with some friends to watch it (we don't have a TV, though this election season has been one time we kinda wish we had one)....
