This is past the point of ridiculous. In the last 14 days the fire alarm has sounded approximately 7 times. Last night I was forced to wake up at 1am to go stand in the cold while the porter ran from building to building typing in his magical code that makes the shreeking sirens disappear. Unbelievably I woke up to it happening again 7hrs later and decided I just couldn’t be bothered to get out of my bed one more time for a false alarm, so I shoved my fingers in my ears and rolled over.
We’ve all become so accustomed to the drill that no one buys it anymore – we know there is no fire, someone is just smoking in their room again.
…however, in a twisted irony of fate, now that we’ve all become apathetic and distrustful of the sounding alarm, a real fire will undoubtedly occur and we’ll all be burned alive.
