3;00 am, goddammit!!!!
Our main fire alarm went off at 3 am. I had the drill down this time--grabbed clothes, shoes, keys, wallet, coat. This time I didn't smell the smoke until about the 3rd floor stairwell, and started to moan, "shit oh shit oh shit not again not again..."
I hit the first floor coughing and choking on smoke, along with a small handful of my neighbors and some moron going, "Like, chill, lady," In a few minutes I was joined by Ben the neighbor with his kitty in a carrier. The moron also joined us. "look, like, chill out; someone on first floor's couch was on fire; it's out now." We allll looked at each other, then at him. Not a one of us went back inside. The firetrucks came, (again) and gave us the all-clear to go back inside and (finally just now) shut off the alarm.
I just bet I know which apartment it was downstairs, too...one of the ones with reallly unsavory neighors in it. I am so very,very , very pissed off. But I'm okay. I'm just very very awake, and I have a rough day ahead tomorrow...
