An Odd Perk

Today when I walked into work, I had just clocked in and hadn't even hung up my jacket, when the fire alarm went off. So we all walked out (after my co-workers closed up and locked up everything so no one would steal a test when everyone's out of the room--I forgot to help, having just arrived) and stood around outside until the fire marshal yelled that it was safe to come in. Apparantly someone had burned a bag of popcorn in the one weak excuse for a microwave in the building.

And I got paid to stand outside and chat with people. I love my job.
