We had a fire drill today. Apparently our building management company is required to have one per year. The odd thing is that we don't have to go all the way down to the lobby (which is kind of nice, given that we're rather a long way up). The reason why we're only required to go down 4 floors is that (according to the fire marshals) if people are required to walk that far, they refuse to participate in the fire drill.
It's kind off pathetic when you think about it. Just like the people who spend 15 minutes trying to find that perfect parking space so they don't have to walk 200 feet in order to get to their gym where they're going to spend an hour running on a treadmill.
Of course the creepiest part of the fire drill is where we found out that the speakers in the fire alarms are hooked to a microphone somewhere and a weirdly distorted voice thanked us for participating. It felt very Orwellian for some reason.
