....Please exit the building immediately! Do not use the elevators!"
So shrieked the emergency alarms as they wailed out their loud sirens and flashed their emergency lights throughout the building I work in.
I figured it was probably a drill, but with THIS being all over the news today, thought it was better to be safe than sorry. (besides, the floor monitors were around to chase out any stragglers!)
So, I had the joy of walking down the stairs with several hundred of my coworkers to stand outside in the 90-plus-degree Atlanta heat. Oh, did I forget to mention? I work on the 19th floor. Ninteen flights of stairs to walk down. UGH! By the time I made it to the street, my legs felt like rubber bands!!!!!!
Eventually they let us go back to our desks, and gave us ice cream to make us feel better. :) Woohoo!

Was it a drill or an emergency? When I worked for the fed. govt. they often left us sitting at our desks when an emergency did exist in our building.
It was just a drill. :)
