The past two days have been interesting at work. On Monday there was a trashcan fire in the Men's room, and we were evacuated. It lasted only 20 minutes and we were all hauled back into the building. The annoying thing was the alarms were still going off even though the fire was still contained. All of us were incredulous when our manager told us to go back on the phone and apologize for the alarm sounds and "try to use our customer service skills" to take the call. When it was apparent that neither us nor the customer could hear very well with the alarm going off, the manager rescinded the request but as he did the alarm turned off. Jeez.

This set us up for yesterday! We had a bomb threat at the building and we were all evacuated once again, this time for a whole hour while Buffalo's finest and their K-9 counterparts searched diligently for a bomb that probably wasn't there. None of us are sure where the threat came from but apparently these threats have happened before too. *shrug* I didn't mind because I managed to grab my more important stuff, like my lunch and NDS before hauling out the door.

Things are falling into place now for Christmas. I'm hoping the work needed on my car is done soon enough so I can do that last-minute shopping. So far I've got Christmas gifts for 3 people done.

Also congratulations to the Bills on their awesome victory. Also congratulations to the Patriots who have proven that even division leaders suck with their colossal failure against Miami. So if the Bills win against Miami this week, and the Patriots lost against Miami, does that mean the Bills are a much better team than the Patriots and that our two losses against the Patriots are just misunderstandings that need to be corrected? I think so.
