Divers Alarums
The fire alarm just kicked off. Not a good day for that, imho. Evacuating.
Update: We’re back. No one knows what caused the alarm, though there is a burnt electrical smell wafting through the hallway. The Fire Department showed up and turned off the alarm, which was taken as the all-clear signal. We probably won’t know what caused it unless the control center sends out an email update.
The alarm did give me pretty concrete evidence that deep down, in the bedrock of my soul, I’m an ass. One of the first things I thought to do was to go and stand underneath the alarm, call the wife on the cell phone, say “Honey, I…I…I love you,” cough a couple of times, and hang up.
Yet another Update: Here we go again. I think I’ll go eat lunch and work the rest of the day from home.
