Work Life, #2

We were lucky or unlucky to be in an office that was old, like 1930 and before old.  It was renovated several times and we have a kitchen with a stove and oven.  So the boss brought in a casserole and put it in the oven to heat up.  She went about her work and meetings and stuff.

The fire alarm went off!  LOUD 📢📢📢!  She panicked.  Her boss panicked.  They looked around and found smoke coming out of the oven, but at least no fire.  The casserole somehow survived.  The two bosses hurried to call the police and fire department to cancel the fire alarm.  In the panic they forgot which one was the non-emergency phone number.

The police 🚓 showed up.  They were able to turn the fire alarm off.  They explained nobody used the oven since 1970s.  They were able to find the non-emergency phone number to cancel the fire department 🚒.

Amidst the craziness us worker bees walked in.  The two bosses looked extremely embarrassed.  We were laughing so hard 🤣🤣🤣.  One month ago the big boss implemented a new rule that someone must always be in to man the office.  We joked that was to make sure the office wasn't burned down.  Also when we came back from a long vacation, we liked to joke, "Is the office burned down while I'm gone?"

The two bosses almost burned down the office, when all the worker bees were gone.  It's always funnier when it's boss' fault.

MORALS of the story:

1. What a great way to test the fire alarms in the office!  However, we don't have sprinklers.  Don't know if that's a blessing or a curse.  If the sprinklers had gone off, all of our work, paper or electronic, would be ruined. 🌊🌧
2. Doesn't matter how many Public Service Announcement posters they put around the office, in a panic, everything was forgotten.
3. Can't imagine if it were us worker bees burning down the office.  We would be fired or at least be written up for disciplinary actions.  The boss and her boss, they were fine.
