That's Different: Ceiling Tile Art
How often do you look at ceiling tiles? Well, when you're lying on your back with three quarters of your body swallowed by a machine and your head is sticking out - you have no choice.
I was admitted to Tampa General Hospital this past week. I went in to emergency with various pains. They admitted me for the ones in my chest and put me through a series of tests. The last was called a nuclear stress test. I spent a total of forty minutes on my back inside of a machine that took pictures of my heart. Directly above me was a ceiling tile painting of fish in the sea. How absolutely clever. They also had a TV mounted on the ceiling for patients, but the idea of placing art in this location is simply brilliant!
Of course ceiling tile art is not something new. It's just new to me and that's different.
My heart tested to be in good shape and my symptoms were stress related. Whew, only stress.
Note to dave in the future: You've been looking at ceilings inside of commercial buildings since 1984. It went along with your line of work, which you stopped talking about online in 2003.
Not the best way to get a day off from work Dave! More seriously, very glad to hear your heart's in good shape - now do something about that stress!

Maybe viewing more ceilings more slowly during the normal day will help to avoid the stress? Glad to hear you are well!

LOL! Thanks Rosa.
If they were painted and artful Steve, I'd never look down :-)

Glad to hear that all worked out OK, Dave.
Have you thought of a little stress-reducing artwork on that ceiling at home?

Hey Steve, thanks for stopping in! To your question, yes. When I read and write both time and stress evaporate like a bead of water in the Sahara.
