Tonight, the FINAL episode EVER of “ER” airs, and it’s finally starting to hit home for me. I essentially “grew up” on this show. I interned here when I was in college for 3 seasons. Then I spent a year away, after graduating, doing a few other jobs. I returned in the summer of 2007 as an actual paid employee, and here I am today! I feel lucky to be witnessing the end of an era.

I do not feel lucky to have to pack the entire era away in boxes.

Another hazard of moving offices: Over the course of the last few days, I have taken all of the posters and photos down from the walls, leaving only those little picture hanging hooks still stuck in the drywall. Today, I had to clean off our huge white boards with an awful chemical. The fumes stuck around for hours, and since our beige Gulag of an office doesn’t have any windows, it made me feel a little loopy. Now, every time I see one of those picture hanging hooks in my peripheral vision, I freak out because I think it’s a millipede.

I’m ready for a little “me” time, I think.
