In Case of an Emergency....

I just wanted to let you know that the fire alarm system in this building is first rate.  Just blowing out a cheap candle from Wal-mart will set off the shrill scream into the night for all to hear!  I was also most happy to find out it wasn't the simple kind of alarm you usually get.  You know the one where you can just rip of the casing and yank out the battery to get it to stop....or beat it down with a broom  Nope, not here.....nothing but the best here in this house.   Tightly screwed down and wired to every room! I was even more ecstatic to learn that I have even further protection, because not only does it sound in my apartment, BUT ALL the other apartments in the house. Yes, I believe my neighbours were also very happy to learn as they stood on the street at 10:00 last night that I am so well protected from a mere candle. After several unanswered calls to the landlord, Gary the neighbour on the ground floor was able to disarm the beast.   I can only hope and assume that because Gary knew how to disarm the beast that this wasn't the first time this has happened.  At least that is what I am going with so I can stop feeling like such a dumb ass. :) Do you think they are counting down the months until I leave?
