Fire

"The fire alarm has been activated, please exit the building" This is what I woke up to at 3:30 am this morning. And of coarse the intense flashing of the emergency light above my bed. I put on my coat and trucked down 6 flights of stairs to stand out in 10 degree weather while the fire fighters figured out what was going on. As I looked at the building I noticed all the tenants standing in the lobby. Shoot if they want to stand in the lobby of a possibly burning building let them, my ass went across the street and stood in their lobby. My momma didn't raise no dummy.

So after about 20 minutes and no cute firemen :( we had the all clear to go back in. Turns out some idiot was smoking in the common areas and set off the damn alarm. Bad enough I have to smell that shit everytime I go out and about, but damn is it so much to ask to go outside to smoke in an apartment building. If you don't like smoking out in the cold, chew some gum or get a patch damn it!

So after I finally get back into my apartment I notice the emergency lights are still flashing. Needless to say I had to sleep with my head under the covers to avoid the strobe light above my bed. Not exactly an ideal way to sleep, I felt like I was suffocating. Every time I would almost fall asleep I must of removed the covers only to wake up again because of that damn light. Long story longer, when I left at 7:20 in the morning the lights were still flashing. I hope that damn idiot smoker couldn't sleep either!
