Why should I?
March 26th, 2009
We had another fire drill today. Actually, this one wasn’t such a big deal because it was pretty nice outside. I just love Springtime when the birds start chirping and the air smells so fresh and… :::SCREEEEEECHHH!!!!!::: (Please don’t let me get all sickly bubbly like that again.) Actually, it sucked going through that because I had a lot of work to do and it put me behind.
That being said, we made it outside and we’re standing around, waiting for the “all clear” signal when one of “the men” comes up and tells us to tell everyone to shut-up. Maybe she (that’s right, I said “she”) felt like we looked like we’d be people our coworkers would respect and listen to. Oh yeah, I should mention that I’m 5’6″ and weigh about 250 pounds (and them pounds ain’t from muscles). So, thinking “why should I….oh wait….this could be fun,” I start walking around screaming “SHUT UP….SHUUUUUUUT UUUUUUUP!!!!!” Of course, this prompted very nasty looks from “the man” who immediately started walking toward me. Right then and there, she got the “all clear” so I moved into the lull of the crowd and managed to escape deep into the bowels of the server room where I managed to keep myself for the rest of the day.
I didn’t realize we had over 1,000 network ports in our switch core. Wait, did I miscount? DAMMMNIT!!!!
