he he ... under our previous evil manager, the last time we had a fire it was worse. She'd DISCONNECTED the alarms - said kids kept pulling false alarms. Which meant people were running up and down the hallways alerting the neighbors. And then, when the firemen arrived, the guy at the front desk wouldn't let them in.

OMG. That's way too scary to be funny.

In college, My roommate and I once slept through a fire alarm (I was wearing earplugs). Our RA forgot to check our room.

Good thing it was a false alarm.

Dear God, Toddson. With every new post you make I'm more and more grateful that you are still here at all. There's no part of any of that that isn't infuriating and appalling.

Emmett and Matilda will be unbearably cute together, but I'm still slightly bummed, because back when we thought Emmett was getting out of school at the regular time Hec was planning on dropping Matilda off with me for the tail end of the afternoon before going to get Emmett.

But he gets out at 2 today, which means I'd have Matilda here for 4 hours, which is Not On. But, phooey. She's just very fun and personable and well-behaved, and the blood lab people like to slip her graham crackers and bottles of apple juice from their woozy-patient-revival cart and all the staff here just genuinely like seeing her and get pouty if I go too long without bringing her by.

Extra Emmett time will definitely be more fun for her, though.

The Laurapic is made of charm!

Am tired and overwhelmed by work. Send TA.

You look like you're on Lost! Watch out for ... well, whatever is menacing people on the island this season.

I could deal with the menacing people if the hott was there too.

There's a certain wacko logic to shutting off the fire alarms because kids keep ringing false alarms. I mean, yes, it's an Epic Fail way to solve a problem. But at least there's a problem there that they're trying to solve.

Not letting the firefighters into the building when there's a fire? Makes shutting off the alarms look sane.

Yikes and ewwwwwww!

Bree Walker has hands like lobster claws, essentially. She has two children, one of whom she passed the syndrome to...the shit hit the fan, like "How DARE you..." and etc. but she said she knew that that was a possibility, unlike her parents and she was in a unique position to help them through it.

In a sidebar at sumi's link (not commenting on the main attraction, my irony is sprained), "Kenya toddler is first polio infection in 20 years."

Damn.

My link?

(And that's terrible about the toddler with polio.)
