I got confirmation today that as a member of my office building’s evacuation team, I get to take “fire extinguisher training”. We get to practice using those ginormous fire extinguishers that the real firefighters use, putting out real fires (okay, it’s a fire in a barrel, but still). I’ve seen these lessons when walking by and they look really fun.
I’m totally psyched and my kids will be totally jealous. I will update later this week with my insider’s report on how a vertically-challenged attorney handles the “almost as big as me” extinguisher that is normally controlled by majorly buff big dudes. My goal: to avoid burning off my eyebrows. Another bonus: I think I get to wear jeans to work.
Given the state of the world these days I will take these small excitements where I find them.
