Well, THAT was exciting
Nov. 22nd, 2011 10:54 amBuilding evacuated due to a leaking propane tank in the warehouse. Headaches ensue. Film at eleven.
EDIT: I went back in as soon as we were given an "all clear" as we had to bang out payroll a day early this week and it was after 10 AM and I still had batches to forward to HQ in Glendale. (Linda and I were among the few hoping the place wouldn't be closed down for the day all day because 400+ union employees not getting their paychecks on time would not have been pretty and I wouldn't blame them.) In fact, I was one of the first back in the door and the only one with the presence of mind to use the doormat to wedge the front door open and go open the loading dock doors in the warehouse to ventilate the place. (Can you believe that the windows in the offices that have them don't open?) The place was still pretty fumy, despite the assurances of the personblockhead in charge of our physical plant that it smelled fine (he doesn't have to work over here!) and I half hoped I'd throw up on my keyboard just to prove a point. My front-desk spot is only about 20 feet from the front door and I did get up and go outside a few times during the first hour until I was at the point I couldn't tell whether my headache was from my lingering cold or propane fumes.
