Whinge

Why can't people just be nice to each other??? Why when they are stresseddo they think it's ok to make everyone else around them feel miserable??? So we had a fire drill today...which wasn't a disaster but it could have been. The briefing before hand was supposedly moved to my floor because Level 7 couldn't do it and the next think i know, we get a call from the building supervisor saying that the evacuation has started, everyone on the floor should leave. So while telling everyone where to go (which door to exit out of), my boss (who didn't participate in the evecuation) yells at me for going down the stair first (which I wasn't even doing!!!). I was simply showing the others where to go before finding out who was actually participating and who was being lazy!!!

So apart from forgetting to tell the IT guys and the fact that our door is one of the only ones actually alarmed and every time it closed and got re-opened, the alarm would go off....the whole thing went rather well. The only reason most trial evacuations don't work is that people know it's a drill so they don't care!!! It sucks being the designated fire warden mainly because half the time my opinion is not respected....

Then my boss asks me (while I'm in the middle of a conversation with someone else) whether I'd finished setting up a project..I said Yes, she asked when I was going to tell her and i mentioned that I'd only just finished it before the drill happened...I resisted telling her that if she had been at her desk rather than up at the front desk chatting, that I would have told her sooner...but considering she snaps at me when I tell her work stuff while she's chatting I decided to wait.

Well now I feel exhausted... and a bit grumpy... but both should pass as I wont let it ruin my day!!! I found out that Amanda is reading Jesus Freaks and loving it...she's finding it inspiring and scary at the same time but is reflecting on her own life maturely and her email this morning was really exciting. Plus I'm having lots of pizza tonight...so how could I let little office stuff bother me...

Yay for venting and not keeping things inside!!! Yay for Pizza....but especially yay for God, who is so awesome and loving and protecting :D
