Everytime there is a mock fire drill at workplaces, there is always something in the air. An air of awareness if you are an ERT member, an air of opportunism if you are one of those who wishes to slip away from the scene and most commonly the air which carries Murphy's laws alongwith it.
I saw all kinds today, the ones who planned well to get out of the building, without having to go through the pleasure of climbing down 13 floors thanks to where EY is located in Ub city. Just hope all these smart alecs' know where to run if not what to do, in case of a real fire.
There were also ones who seemed most busy right at the time the activity was planned. For all I know they must have been really busy. It's a different thing though the security team had the last say on the matter before shunting them out of office.
My brains though seemed like it was playing Murphy-Murphy with me. I had very health conciously decided to scale the last 5 floors just 2 hours ago, partly due to the slowly responding elevators and largely due to the heavy lunch post a training session I had. It later dawned on him that we all had 26 stairs* 13 floors worth of descent in the offing.
The sense of excitement that had set in by the formation of lines just like the good old school days was dampened by the unwelcome showers. All the plans of the ERT team were left unfinished. In all this I gladly managed to check out the camera on my new HTC Wildfire and also the Blogger-Droid app that I'm using to publish the post.
Hoping no one has to fight any fires
in future!!!
