now is the time

We had a fire alarm this morning which meant that 40 stories of office workers poured out of the building onto the footpaths in the middle of the CBD. Our normal evacuation area was closed off as last week a marble panel fell off the building and smashed into the assembly area. So Rather than mill around i took liberties and wandered the city/ did a few errands to avoid the throngs trying to scramble back into the buildings and clog the lifts. Which incidentally happened! One lift of 16 people was apparently stuck for 40 minutes!
