the building that cried "fire!"

good christ. i think my one lung has collapsed.

we just had a "fire emergency" here... of course, every idiot in front of me was moving all sluggish... at this point i would have been burned to an effing crisp.

made it only 3 floors down - in 5 min. - seriously, come on. at that point it wasn't a drill... big blaring "whoop whoop" and flashing lights in the office said that it was not a drill...

and i was behind a 450 pound woman taking up the entire staircase - i don't wanna come across as insensitive, but MOVE IT THE HELL ALONG!!! i was not cramming into her though - even though this guy i work with was whining that he's gonna push someone and slide down the railing (nice. um. that tells you a lot about a person's demeanor) anyway....

started at the 9th floor. made it to the 6th when a "eh.... sorry.... that was a false alarm" is broadcast over the speakers...

while that's great and all - the elevators were now at the C level and probably packed with folks... so we walked back up.

here's the sad thing.

i am incredibly winded. seriously. i think it's from second-hand smoking 4 packs of menthols a day. eh... not to mention my shoes weren't exactly condusive to walking in... eh... oh... and while i am not 450 lbs., i am still outta shape.

anyone have any oxygen?
