I just took a ciggarette break at work (yes, I know, I have far too many bad habits) and not more than a minute after I had left, the fire alarm goes off.

I don't yet know why the fire alarm went off (it wasn't a scheduled test, and there were no fire engines around), but I can assure you that there was absolutly no connection with my smoking.

As I work on the 5th floor (that's the 6th floor if you use the US numbering system), I would have had to walk down lots of stairs, had I not already takn the lift (elevator) down.

It struck me as good timing. I was impressed.
