It seems that basic emergency procedures no longer apply at work. This morning, the fire alarm goes off. About 3 weeks ago, we had a fire drill where we were told that the first thing you are supposed to do if the fire alarm goes off is to run out the nearest exit and regroup in the parking lot. This is what me and at least two other people did. I and one of the others run out a fire door with a separate alarm that goes off if you open it; this door cannot be opened from the outside.
Apparently, it was only a test of the alarm system. They did not announce this test until
after the alarm went off. By then, the other two and I were already outside. So now, instead of "get to safety as quickly as possible", the proper response to a fire alarm is "stay there, do nothing, wait for instructions".
Curiously enough, right outside the fire door I found a lamp shade sitting on a post. Shame I couldn't find anywhere to hang it. What are the odds that I would find a lamp shade in a strange place at
just the moment it becomes relevant?
It's times like this where I wish Napoleon was more successful in spreading the metric system across the world.
Well, he was almost completely successful. America and Liberia are the only ones left.
That's still three hundred and some odd million heathens who need cleansing, at any rate.
Shed your false metric chains and embrace the Imperial system! The Emperor demands it!
What measuring system does the Imperium of Man use? 1 ton = an Emperor's gram? 1 Heresy = 2 Bolters to the head?
