I don't even know. We just had around nine firefighters tromping around the apartment, occasionally yelling at us, and one nice guy quietly explaining what we needed to do, and then they all had to go because there was a fire.

My life. Kind of weird sometimes.

Were any of the firefighters hot, shrift?

Our neighbor gave me a chocolate chip cookie and we're all probably not going to die in our sleep tonight, so I guess that makes today a win.

It was hard to notice while I was wrangling the cat and jumping out of their way and explaining where stuff was. Nice guy was kind of cute?

I, of course, am looking like a Sunday slob. I am just lucky I didn't have any foodstains on my shirt.

It's a pity, but you almost never get to see them in circumstances where you can determine hotness or not. Like, not only are you stressed out and jumpy and somehow perpetually in their way, but they're wearing gigantic plastic clothing. Cruel fate.

My first full-time job was at Dearborn and Grand, right next door to the fire station (the building is now Spago's). I had a co-worker who loved to stroll by the station house on her lunch break and flirt with the firemen hanging outside in between calls.

Almost but sometimes, you get lucky.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Every time i've gone into the local Quiznos (which isn't often, their veggie options are pretty sad) there have been many firefighters getting food. I flirted with one once but then an alarm went off and they all ran out to the truck, leaving their food behind. Guy behind the counter says that happens a lot. I wondered if they come back to get the stuff they already paid for, but didn't ask.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Centuries from now, people researching the distant past of the early 21st century will eventually encounter LOLcat-something, and they will be confused.
