Lights started flashing and this annoying buzzing sound filled the
office. I looked over to my fellow cow-orker. “It's the fire
alarm,” he said.
“Does that mean we have to lock our workstations before
leaving?”
“Yes.”
Work stations thus locked, we ambled out with the rest of the night crew
into the early morning air. The entire building is abuz with the fire alarm
and the security guard is running around getting everybody out and trying to
locate the the cause. The skeletal crew mill about, joking about what the
cause might be.
Some ten minutes later a fire truck arrives, pulls into the parking lot,
does a U-turn and leaves. A minute later the alarms go silent. The crew
start their migration back inside The Company.
Our enforced break is now over.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
It is assumed that every brand name, slogan, corporate name,
