The strobe lights started going off this morning - Fire Drill. I hate these things, but I guess you have to classify these things as a necessary evil. Fortunately, today was going to be the warmest day of the week, so management picked a good day. I can tell you that I went down 11 flights of stairs easier than I thought. Out in the parking lot I met a woman that I worked with just last month. She's working in my building now, so we commiserated about our last gig.
So the drill was over and we took our time going inside. The lobby was full, the elevators were full, so we waited a while - only to find out that the building was executing the drills by groups of floors - the alarm goes off again and a new bunch of people pour outside. We wait again and go back in, but decide to go down to the cafeteria for coffee, which, after we got there, decided not to get anything. We hit the button on the eleveator and wait around a bit when we see the light go out on the button. Sure enough, time for the third group. Back outside and wait around. This time, we're one of the first one's in and we get an elevator to actually stop on our floor (there is only one ewlevator that stops on our floor, so we were lucky to get it).
Anyway, nice way to break up the day...
