It may have felt like an episode of "The Office" as we gathered on the 16th floor for a big congratulations for our quick response, but we did learn a few lessons that we'll share on this forum:
*No coffee, because you might spill and essentially be liable for the deaths of hundreds piled up on the stairs behind you... not to mention those who slip on the spill.
*It's federal for women to carry purses... but they better be long strapped so you can sling them across your body and have your hands free.
*Don't ever use the fire escape... although back in the day that was the way, they are antiquated (I think this wins the prize for biggest word in this guy's vocab) and dangerous.
*Heels won't cut it. Keep a pair of flats or tennis shoes (you're welcome to slip some odor-eaters into them) under your desk and slip those puppies on in case of emergency.
No cutting corners here in this building. Great job 20th floor, practically record time. Give yourselves a round of applause. Oh, and hurry up and organize floor teams so more people can wear those sweet blaze orange hats and vests!

We just had our 18th Floor fire drill!
ReplyDeleteThis time the guy said "Fire escapes are old school."
He also said: "You always want to go down, you never want to go up. Bruce Willis doesn't live in Chicago. He's not going to save you from the rooftop in his helicopter."
When he made the no coffee point: "You over there with the Dunkin Donuts, that's fine in a drill, but that won't cut it in a fire."
When he made his ladie's purse point, a woman demonstrated with her bag: "Thanks Vanna!"
Finally: "Great job 18th floor!"
Woman mumbling near me: "I'm taking the elevator back up."
