I can't help but wonder if pre-announcing a fire drill defeats the point of it.

Work-1 had them completely unannounced, with security not only tripping the alarm test but going one step further and actually picking a location for the supposed fire (complete with someone from site services there going "rarr, I'm a fire"). About the only thing you could guarantee is that it'd be on a sunny day.

Current work (well, the landlord of the offices we're in) has emailed round giving the exact date and time when the alarm will go off, complete with an offer to reschedule it if it's inconvenient to anyone. Because of course real fires never happen at inconvenient moments... They have said that it'll go ahead rain or shine though and reminded everyone to bring a coat, which lead to a debate in our office as to whether or not you should pick up your coat given that you're not supposed to stop to collect belongings. My personal view is if you're by your desk then you can grab your coat on the way, otherwise tough - and stopping to grab your bags is right out.

Let's see if I can poke some life into LJ...

Edit: corrected quote #9

I'm bored. That means it's time for a meme! And today's meme is... (spins the wheel of memeage) ...Guess the Movie!

As always with these things, we must first go over the rules:

  1. Pick 15 of your favourite movies.
  2. Find a quote from each movie.
  3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
  4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
  5. Those who Google for the answers will be snarked at.

  10. The Grid. A digital frontier. I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the computer. What did they look like? Ships? Motorcycles? Were the circuits like freeways? I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see. And then one day... I got in.
