Is that a fire alarm going off?!

So just another normal saturday afternoon working then BAM!

ALARMS GOING OFF AROUND ME AND MY FELLOW WORK MATES!

gonna have to evacuate the building as the fire alarms are blaring out loudly. Good thing it's a nice hot sunny day so we all leave the building to bask in the sunshine while the alarm just continues to go off! What gets me is that as we wait outside I'm getting an abundance of customers coming up to me as though I'm the fire marshall or something, was I giving off this aura of authority or something. I then preceed to get the similar questions that you would normally ask someone when there is a fire alarm going off.

What's going on?
When can we all go back in?
How long is it going to last?

OK heres my answers to your questions people of the public.....

1. There is a fire alarm going off so it's either going to be a fire or a test! You want me to be anymore blunt with you!

2. I don't know when you can go back in do I look like the fire marshall or something. If anything you can go back in when the alarm goes off or if the firemen put out the fire and then slowly rebuild the shop!

3. How long is a piece of string? I don't know how long it will last maybe when the firemen put out the fire or when the alarm stops!

People should think before they ask a question. These are the questions I may have asked:

1. Where is your manager or the fire marshall as you clearly are not either of the two?!

2. Is there a fire or is it a test? (that sounds more reasonable than being very vague)

3. Enjoy the sun cause it looks like you don't know how long you will be! (more of a statement than a question)

Oh yeah. One other thing to point out as the place does prints etc I'm guessing people started to worry about oooohhhhh my prints will be burnt to a crisp! Yeah maybe if you like old school photography and do it on 35mm film then you would probably be pretty fucked. For you guys that do it on digital you'd probably be pretty safe your pics would not be going up in a blaze of fire.

This being the day after the royal wedding and all that the customers outside are thinking damn ll those pics of the street parties will have been lost forever. EEEEEEKKKKK! Should have done it on digital then love!
