Well, its certainly been an interesting couple of days. Yesterday morning we had our fire drill at 6:25 - I can't remember the last time I was outside to see the sun rise. :*P Then a thunderstorm roled in, and at 7:58, a bolt of lightning struck the building one over from mine. The thunder was immediate and the LOUDEST bang I have ever heard. Two windows were blown out by it and a lot of tree branches fell - but that was just the initial visible effects. The circuit breakers for the building were obviously thrown by it, so they all had to be reset, then maintenance spent the day fixing the handicapped accessable doors which got messed up by it. Then they discovered that it had also fried the cable lines and the fire-system lines that connect each building to the central maintenance office. So we were without TV and had to have another fire drill so that they could make sure the in-building systems worked, even though we were told that we'd have to call 911 if they were actually set off, since central wouldn't be able to tell on their computers. Drama, drama, drama.
Then today, I've dealt with three incidents so far, and since this is my suicide weekend for duty, I'm sure they won't be the last. Oh well- TGIF :*)
