apparently, my apartment building has a PA system in the hallways. i discovered this as, while i was sorting laundry this fine evening, i heard a broadcast of some sort in the hallway. assuming it was a security person’s unusually loud walkie-talkie, i wandered over to the door and peeked out; upon seeing nothing, i opened the door to listen in.

“the fire has been put out. you can stay in your apartments.”

well. i suppose it’s good to know they don’t set off the fire alarms and sprinklers until they at least give putting it out the old college try.

odd. very odd.
