Official Notice for Your Safety and Guidance

Official Notice for Your Safety and Guidance

"In the event of a fire in this building, please do not use the elevators.

"I mean - for the love of God - have you not learned anything from Towering Inferno?

"On the discovery of a fire, make every attempt to put out the flames. DO NOT Call the fire brigade, as this will only increase our insurance premiums.

"However, if some plank should activate the fire alarm, please evacuate the building using the stairs, death slide, or the Scaryduck Labs Building Evacuation Catapault.

"Executive staff: Please make your way to the roof and use the jet packs provided.

"Staff Assembly Point: Spearmint Rhino."

What to do in the event of getting fired, though?
Firster than Squeaky or Debster or Anon.
Hooray for time travel!

Bugger.

Yep. That sounds like my company as well. We had a fire drill a few weeks ago and they sent us 5 mins down the road to stand on a bridge. 120 games develpers standing on a bridge on Amsterdam... there is a set up for a punch line some where in there.

The death slide option appeals to me - I'm almost disappointed that I work on the ground floor.

Has the time traveller gotten her luggage back, though?

We have these 'drills' regularly. I'm more concerned about Code Oranges, though.

is it considered bad form to keep a parachute in your desk drawer in case of actually working in the towering inferno? I saw what happened with that chair on a length of fire hose - not even Paul Newman could trick me into that!

I, too, covet the death slide, but work in a single story building.

Also. Looks like the Duck has a new photo editing program(me).

We just get sent out to stand around in the car park. Yes, the same car park that the fire engine would have to cross in order to get on to most of the site...

Any time the Fire Alarm goes we just pray it's the Fire tender with the good looking crew, not the ugly ones who attend.

This can't have effect in reality, that's what I think.
