"And it makes me feel so fine I can't control my brain..."

Name that artist & song! I will give an extra special present to anyone who can guess where those lyrics come from....

Actually - these particular lyrics were solely selected on the basis that they were random and catchy (per the norm), rather I am in such an elated mood...It is friday...business is outstanding....I am busy but content....I have plans this weekend....ahhhh....

So I went down to the basement to get the mail today and as I was waiting for the freight elevator to come back down to give me a lift the fire alarm started going off. All the building engineers came BOLTING out of a work room and ran into the stair wells. The stairs are supposed to be "fire safe", meaning if the building catches fire all the doors slam shut and people can stay safely in there until help arrives. Big generators came on instantly and all the magnetic doors slammed shut and i thought i was going to get stuck down in the basement. I had remembered from my safety class that i had to take (since i am the "floor marshall" for our suite) that the fire department was possibly going to do a random drill without telling us before the end of the year adn I was scared that this might be it. (i was scared because since i am the "floor marshall" i need to be there to make sure procedure is followed and everyone is out of the office and all the doors are closed. if i am not there to do this and the fire dept is doing a drill they can fine us like $5000.) so, in my infinite wisom, i decided to RUN all 8 flights of industrial stairs to my floor. the air generators were blowing gusts of air into the stairwells...it was intense. by the 4th floor it occurred to me that no one else was on the fire escape, so maybe the alarms stopped going off...i get the the 7th floor - all out of breath and shannon was standing at the door looking confused. i wheezed a "did the fire alarm go off" and she looked at me as though i were stoned. i explained what had happened and she laughed at me and told me i ran it for nothing. i dont regret it - it was great exercise....but still...kinda funny...

Happy friday...
