Ugh, we just had a fire drill.

Obnoxious recorded voice "Attention please, evacuate the building." About 10 mins in the parking lot then they sound the all clear, "Attention please, attention please. All clear. All clear." "Attention please, attention please. All clear. All clear." "Attention please, attention please. All clear. All clear." "Attention please, attention please. All clear. All clear." "Attention please, attention please. All clear. All clear." "Attention please, attention please. All clear. All clear." "Attention please, attention please. All clear. All clear." "Attention please, attention please. All clear. All clear." "Attention please, attention please. All clear. All clear." "Attention please, attention please. All clear. All clear."

For like an additional 5 mins after we get back into the building. Okay already. We got it. It's all freekin' clear. Shut the damn thing off.

Odd that they have the emphasis on the 'all clear' recording and not the 'evacuate the building'.

Baaaaddddd memories. Last year when I was living in Reinert Hall, there was a fire alarm that went off at 5:30am in December, on a Monday morning before finals. Everyone had to leave the building and stand outside in a foot of snow. We were out there for HALF AN HOUR, were corralled into a corner and no one was allowed to leave, or even get in cars for warmth. We later learned it was someone who decided to put some popcorn in a microwave and burned it. Everyone joked how they wished the building was completely ablaze to at least give us some warmth at all.
