Flack's Daily Smack

If there's a real bomb emergency you will find me 100 miles (not 100 feet) from the building

 

Reminds me of fire drills in high school. I decided if the teacher ever looked surprised, I was going to put some serious distance between myself and a building with natural gas valves in the science rooms and oxy-acetalene tanks in the auto shops.

 

Of course, at work, they have the designated meeting areas in the adjacent parking garage. Yeah, I want to be in a semi-enclosed area with lots of cars when a fire happens.

We have a designated meeting place for tornado drills which is in the basement hallway right outside my comfy cubicle. The hallway connects my cubicle (which has things like, oh, Internet access, air conditioning and other luxuries) with the snack bar (which has, among other things, snacks) -- and yet we're not allowed to be in either one of those places. If the tornado were somehow able to plow through 10 feet of government bomb-proof concrete, I'd rather go while searching the web instead of hiding in a tunnel, ducking and covering.
