We had a fire drill today.  The admin. assist. came over and said  something like "we have to leave the building b/c the alarms are going off."  Apparently the alarms only sound on every other floor.  So, half the building must be dispensible, I suppose.  Maybe they don't want to crowd the stairwells, so they figure, "let's just save half of the people to prevent crowding."

I thought to myself, "should I bring my umbrella?  It's supposed to rain today.  Nah, we won't be out there long and it should hold up until then."  And don't you know, after a minute of being out of the building, it started pouring.  Everyone was huddling under the trees, but we were getting wet anyway.  They took their sweet old time waiting to let us back in, while they (the security people) stood inside the building.

Now I'm wet and COLD.  Why didn't I bring in a lunch today?  Now I have to trek out in the rain!!! 

weather.com says we're in for thunderstorms for 10 days.  God, is that you?  Should I build a boat???

Grab two of every species, too, on your way to the Halfy ark!  I'd think there'd be alarms on every floor - I wonder if that's a violation of building codes?

What an icky day! Hopefully it will get better. Do you think that maybe someday you'll get moved to a floor with a fire alarm? Would that be like a promotion?

we had a fire drill when I was in Omaha at Cox. It totally threw everyone off. It's a pretty big company and they emptied both buildings, or tried to anyway.  Most of the people in my building left early for the day. But the firefighters were kind of fun to look at

Sorry for the crappy weather!!!
