Don't be alarmed...
# 20 November 2007 20:29

So I was just coming out the office last night, can't remember what time... It was soooo boringly quiet... And the fire alarm goes off. "Shit!" I thought, that's just what I needed really, it's about the only thing that hasn't happened on one of my closes.

I was abit confused as I always thought that if there was a fire I'd notice it first, and after a short pause I am about to order an evacuation of the building - that is when Shane runs up the kitchen from Window 1, to tell me he accidentally knocked the alarm and broke the glass (somehow). We only had one customer in the store - who turned out to be deaf, so he didn't even notice, lol.

So, luckily I've done fire drills before, so I know how to turn off the alarm. But of course, the glass is broken so I couldn't reset the alarm - the best I could do is silence it, just leaving the panel lit up flashing at me that there is a non-existent fire somewhere.

Not being able to shut it off completely, and not wanting a fire engine to turn up I rang Ad and he came down to sort it out, after a few minutes we found the spare glass covers for the alarm points, and replaced it eventually.

A bit of excitement for the night.
And I'm only posting this cos I'm extremely bored.
