There is a building security alarm going off and has been going off for more than an hour. The building is across the street from ours but the alarm is so loud and so piercing and so ineffective at this point that we’re all wishing we had shotguns in our cars so we could shoot the alarm system and put it out of our misery.
With today being a holiday, we’re worried the alarm is going to go off for the entire day. I feel bad for the people who live around here who thought they could sleep late today.
One person here called campus security although we’re pretty sure the building has nothing to do with campus business. I just watched as a slightly disheveled guy walked up to the building, looked at the building number and got on the cell phone. I hope he’s calling in a hit on that alarm.
In other news, dinner last night turned out pretty well and we lit off some fireworks. The new year celebration was a success.
Update:The alarm was turned off around 8:30 by the building owner. The original call to the police and fire departments about the alarm? 2:30am. The building owner got the call around that time but went back to sleep and let that alarm go off for 6 hours in the middle of the night. She’s paving her way to hell.
