Man what a way to start the the morning; bells went off lights were flashing. Scared the begeezes outta me! I've been thinking about getting my exercise program going again, but come on 34 flights of stairs! I wasn't ready for that. Besides being too darn hot, my legs just don't have the stamina for this right now. At least I got to take the elevator back up.

Just thought I'd share the joy today.

Sending positive vibes to all,
Edie

    Couple of things
    First: wow. Big difference between thinking to self "I need to get some exercise" and the reality of going down 34 floors. Whoa.

    Second thought: Just cracks me up, this global world -- you've had a fire drill at work and I'm still tucked in bed with my computer. Here in California it's 7 a.m.

    Yikes -- 7 a.m.!!! Gotta shower, get ready for work and hope we don't have a fire drill!!!!!

    Hope your legs recover:)

    At least there was gravity
    At least there was gravity to help going down but 34 flights!? I don't like heights. Yikes. Just glad it was a drill.

    How bout a cold beer instead? As Jimmy Buffet so eloquently put it; it's 5 o'clock somewhere.
    Yes rubber legs and all made the 34 flights.

    Ugh...
    I've been trying to walk a few miles a day...but good grief...34 floors? ACK!

    I would have been holding on to the hand rail and telling people to just pass me on the left.

    Does this mean you have a month to go into training for the next drill?

    C'mon Edie feel the burn
    You know the first lady has a program titled "Let's Get Moving" so maybe the boss decided to incorporate this into the employee benefits. Darn I think that would have pi$$ed me off, 34 flights just to see how fast we could move.

    I don't know why but when you said fire drill I immediately thought of 911.
