What's with all the fire alarms in this town?

Well... I had a nice little blog typed up, but got in a hurry and deleted everything that I'd written. So... you're going to get the readers digest version, which isn't nearly as funny, but I'm tired and don't feel like writing all that again. My first day on the job, we were sitting in a meeting and someone comes over the loud speaker and states that they will be testing the fire alarm and for everyone to remain calm and not to evacuate the building. No one jumped up and ran out of the building screaming when the alarm sounded, so I'd say that their little test was successful. The next day, someone comes over the loud speaker again and says that everyone needs to evacuate the building immediately, and meet with their group in the assigned location. I don't have a group and I sure don't know where my assigned location is! So Prasanna (he started the same day I did) and I look at each other and wonder where the heck we're supposed to go! We hooked up with some lady who decided this was a good time for a smoke break, so we at least made it out of the building ok. People were everywhere! Pouring out of the building onto the sidewalk and into the parking lots. After about 30 minutes, they gave the all clear and we headed back inside. It turns out that this was just their yearly fire drill. Lucky me!
Yesterday morning, I'm getting ready for work, when the alarm here at the hotel goes off! What the heck? I thought they were just doing their yearly fire drill too and decided that they would not want me to come downstairs looking the way I did! Plus if it were a real fire, don't those handsome, well muscled firemen break down your door to rescue you? I sure wasn't gonna pass that up! Well... no handsome firemen broke down my door, and after what seemed like an eternity the fire alarm finally stopped. Later, on my way downstairs, someone in the elevator told me that there was an air conditioning unit on the third floor that had started smoking and they had to sound the alarm. Hopefully... I won't have to deal with any more fire alarms while I'm here!
