My entire office has become obsessed with the demolition of the building next door.

We literally stand at the windows and CHEER — and I’m not overstating this — every time the backhoe makes a significant dent in the crumbly old structure.

Now, it helps that the building is (was) incredibly ugly and housing nothing of use, and also that we’re seeing them salvage materials in an environmentally friendly way. Very green.

But mostly? Breaking stuff is AWESOME.

(I actually screamed in glee when he squished a plastic chair.)

We even do voice-overs for all the guys running around in hard hats, and the major machinery operators. Curtis had me laughing so hard at one point that my coffee came up through my nose.

Ahhh.

It’s like we were all separated at birth.

Thanks, Darren. You’re a sweet kid.
