Indiana Jones Fail!
Dec. 12th, 2012 02:02 pmThe other day, there was a fire alarm at the gym. I was half way through changing, and was sensibly able to slip on shirt, stuff everything into bag, and grab shoes during the first twenty seconds of everyone looking at each other and thinking "is this a test which is going to stop after 20s".
So everyone trooped outside, and I managed to be neither freezing, nor burning, although I had to put my shoes on outside. The staff were actually very organised, having thermal blankets for people who had to come outside in gym clothes.
I wondered what happened to people left in the swimming pool, but it seemed they were able to gather with the lifeguard just inside the fire door, with a clear escape if necessary, but not actually going out into the december air yet.
I was glad the alarm wasn't a couple of minutes earlier, or I would have just started getting changed, and not really have time to covered, nor able to go back through the swimming pool.
However, although I was able to grab everything else, I failed to grab my hat, and hat to wait until it was over to go back to get it. I am not quite Indiana Jones yet :)

Dear ridiculously annoying advert protagonists,
It's possible to have fun without recorded music! Talk to each other. Play a board game. Make out with each other. Learn how to say "hello" in chinese. Dance to an imaginary capella. Make an impromptu amateur film based on gender-switched versions of the adventures of Tin-Tin acted out with halloweeen decorations.
You don't have any imagination. This is why your whole universe is devoted to selling some particular brand of broadband internet.
Love, Jack
