Re: Di I have to reach through the flames

No matter how loud and painful to the ears a fire alarm can be, I've seen people behave in the most bizarre ways when they go off...

One decided to shut his machine down, and waited for Windows to apply updates before heading to the assembly point.

Another colleague decided to start a backup before evacuating.

One even headed to the tea room and made himself a cuppa - and that was during a real emergency, not a drill.

Me ? I'm leaping out and letting the place burn.

If they're very lucky, I might hit the "lock screen" key combo first.
