whoever did that is in big trouble!

The building fire alarm went off this morning at 4:40am! It rang for 20 mins. It's one of those really annoying, single (high) pitch squealling alarms. That's the rudest awakening I can think of. For a few seconds I didn't realize what the hell was happening.

Alex and I considered evacuating, briefly, but decided to say put. There wasn't any sign of trouble in the hallway, and 10 flights down in pjs is a long way. Sitting there, covering my ears, I thought "what would all my childhood principals think if they saw me sitting around my apartment during a fire alarm? All that time they spent drilling us to evacuate..." haha. Sorry.

I don't know what it was but there was no sign of any problems in the building when I left this morning. Whoever set that alarm off is a jackass. Did they really need to smoke at 4:40am? Or burn something in their oven? Blah!
