And you thought nothing interesting happened in New Jersey
So just about noon on Friday, the fire alarm in my office building went off. Ugh, how annoying, a fire drill, I assumed. Not that we'd ever had a fire drill before, but come on, what could possibly be burning, right? So everyone starts leaving. My designer and I put on our coats and start to head out. I stop and decide to grab my purse as an after thought. Good thing I did because there really was a fire. There were crowds in the hallway as everyone tried to squeeze out the one fire exit that apparently exists in our building (um, can anyone say unsafe). A bit unsettling. Why aren't people going out the front door? And now that we're outside, why is there smoke coming from one of the parking garage levels? Turns out a car was on fire right in front of the building. And the building is sort of on stilts, so when a car is idling at the front door, it is under part of the building. So the building caught fire too. (Lesson of the day, buring insulation doesn't smell good.) It was all put out quickly with minimal damage, but for a moment I had an awful thought. If the building really did burn down, I would have to start this issue completely from scratch. Good thing that didn't happen or I might have done something drastic. Instead we all just left for an early lunch until we could get back into the building. Oh, and the fiasco even made gawker. Must have been a slow news day. I want to know who their source was because we definitely didn't get to expense lunch. (Sigh.)

Orlando Update
I went to see Kingdom of Heaven last night. And I have to say, so far, Orlando is a much more satisfing celebrity crush than Vin Diesel. His movies haven't been nearly as disappointing.
