Duck and Cover

So today they ran this earthquake drill in the morning. The dude in our office who has been appointed boy scout or whatever came by and poked his head in my kube.

"Duck and cover in two minutes!"

Yeah, sure. Bite me. Two minutes later I hear his high pitched squeal of a voice "It's an earthquake everybody! Duck and cover for one minute!"

So of course, I sat there and kept playing freecell. About 45 seconds later, boy scout's head pops over my cube wall.

"Did you duck and cover?"

Yeah, I just got up. Then he told me I had to go to the safe room for our team, which happens to have a coffee machine. It's the break room.

Boy scout tries to take roll while i start the coffee machine. Hit the button for black and the beans started grinding. I don't think I'm supposed to do that if this was a real earthquake. He glared at me but it looked like he was squinting at me really intensely.

So I survived the fake earthquake. Yay. Had this been a real earthquake, I'd probably still be playing freecell, provided the power stayed on. And drinking coffee.
