I've seen fire, and I've seen rain

In the good news department, they lifted our "boil water" advisory late last night, and there was no contamination in the system. Yay! Still a really annnoying sequence of events, which leaves me worried about what we'd do in the event of an actual emergency. (Well, okay, I know what Jethrien and I would do...as soon as we found out about it. What worries me is the ineffectiveness of the media and government at spreading such information.)

Today's other excitement was the fire alarm and subsequent evacuation at work. Oh, sorry, did a say evacuation? I meant evacuations. Because we evacuated the whole building, got the all-clear, came back in, then the alarm sounded for a different floor and we all started out again. They announced it as a false alarm, but that didn't stop the sirens and klaxons from going off periodically for the next hour. Oh, and the AC was off that whole time. Fun morning.
