Fire drill

I know I shouldn’t complain about having to stand around outside in 45 degree weather when there are places a whole lot colder on the 13th of December. I was one of the fortunate ones who could pick up a coat on the way out of my office. Others were in short sleeves or light sweaters suitable for the office but not for the parking lot. And the drill seemed to go on and on before they called us back into the building.

Still it was comforting to come back into the office and see evidence that someone had checked all the offices and cubicles for stragglers who might not have made it out in a real fire. And it was a good reminder that fires and other emergencies don’t wait for good weather to happen.
