Fire drill at work place…

[Rakhi]

This morning we had a fire drill…It went on just fine but I noticed that the point where we were supposed to gather for the head count is hardly 100 m away from the building. What if the building explodes? What is the point in gathering so close to the building? That was scary…


How about your workplaces respectively?

Did you forget its a drill? If its real you can run away once you are out of the building. Remember frantic running? No not while in the building but once out you can practice it.

Keep it simple. Staying in US, Canada, UK, etc sometime makes you to to think like robots. Use your desi brains.

My university building had a fire once in the chemistry lab. The alarms went off, so we went down the stairs and away from the building.

thats why I always take keys to my table and hang one of my jackets on my chair all the time in winter.... I know these guys ll look for a better day for their drill but the real one I dont want to run without jacket and without keys to my car where after head count I can go n sit in there in severe weather.....

next time something like this happens 'every week' then bunch of guys should actually do this..

1. everytime alarm goes then one guy should collapse and act as if he got a panic attack (if he is really good in acting then cardiac arrest)
2. a girl member should 'faint' seeing this..
3. another guy in the meantime should get an asthma attack seeing these two go down...

repeat it a few time with more innovative and different ideas!! That way you will give company management real practical trg in dealing with real emergencies during fire drill!!

4.Also if you are carrying a lighter than break its seal and pour the contents onto a female employees skirt (or your enemy) and set it on fire while making exit....do it very secretly...and do it only once!!! afteral its a 'fire' drill !!! before that make sure that CCTV camera is not focussing on you

5. straightaway head for parking lot..take out your vehicle and head home...tell the guys that you love your car and in no-way you would have left it at mercy of fire-fighters !

6. also its a good time to deliberately injure your enemy by giving 'adangi' ( I dunno what to call it in english )

7. also you can create a scene saying 'my work is more important than my life' and refuse to move unless 4 people comee and take you out....

anyways you should do all these things if you already have a good offer from some other company...

abe tu to marvayega...

One intelligent chap was talking on the phone in the corridor in our dept. While talking he just pulled the fire alarm switch without realizing. Our building was old and so fire alarms were not enclosed in glass or plastic casing. Anyways back to story, the alarm went off and one old secretary in our dept got so shocked that she had a cardiac arrest and died on the way to hospital. Now our Mr. Smart Pants had some blue ink sprayed on his hands, proof that it was he who pulled the switch. Cops got hold of him and he had to do like 200 hours of community service. Lesson learnt big time.

lol

but one should make these drills interesting. atleast 'moonwalk' untill you are out of building or spread rumour that 'xyz' is struck badly in between flames and struggling badly (make sure no guy with name exist)...that would make it lil interesting for people who walks out with that 'another-fu(king-false-alarm' kinda expression...

I still remember fire drill in my NY office It was f*king cold outside in month of Jan and they made us climb down from 20th floor and walk upto Central park (half mile). When we reached our building back there was huge crowd waiting for elevators, so we decided to take another elevator upto 6th floor and climb up 14 floors Bad bad planning

Rakhiji ... what about my two coconuts?

Serious ... I asked Brahmin and he said to throw in the water. I will have to go middle of the night so no one sees me throwing in the water. You know how people feel about polluting the waters ... though ... coconuts are all natural.

Thanks.

So I am still trying to reach my grand-ma to know the answer.

Rakhiji ... I am not being superstitious ... nothing like that. Just want to do the right thing. Dhurendherbhai says: Coconut represents a man's submission at the feet of Gods, or letting go of egos. You wrote: Coconut used in prayers is to trap evil or negative forces.

Your granny is now my only hope.
