the howie

The fire alarm went off in the office today, For the first few minutes of the alarm we all just kept working. Then a few people stood up. The phone rang so I answered it, then when I realised it was going to be a long boring call I interrupted and said “sorry the fire alarm is going off i have to go”. Take that telemarketer!!!!

Anyway as we strolled towards the fire exit a pre recorded american voice says “evacuate the building”.

We walked down the fire stairs and then gathered on the footpath. the fire engines came, went inside then a few minutes later got back in their trucks and drove off. the alarm tunred off and we all went back inside.

To avoid having to wait ages and ages for the lift we went to the stairs, about halfway up I noticed that the fire stairs where made of wood!!!!! This doesn not seem like a smart choice of fire-stair building materials.

Anyway none of us are dead, there was no fire all quite dull really. not sure why I blogged about it. Guess it’s more exciting than hearing about how i took the lift down to the ground floor to check the mailbox, or more interesting than me telling you what colour boxer shorts i have on.

blue.
