My heater got fixed today guys! It was so nice hearing it click on and felt so good as the room slowly warmed up. It got fixed just as the cloud cover moved in. After it was fixed, I laid down to take a nap and it felt like I hadn't slept in days. I'm still tired enough that I could probably go back to sleep and sleep through the night. However, I woke up super thirsty so I'll probably be awake for a little while re-hydrating.

Work started off way busier than I ever want it to. I start my shift at 6am. 6:01, a code red was announced. For those of you that don't know what that means, it's a hospital term for fire. Now, 99% of the time, it has to do with water pressure being off or a wire trip or something that isn't actually a fire or smoke related. Today, was not one of those days.

There wasn't a fire or visible smoke, but something was definitely burning/burned because it was really hard to breathe in the affected area. The fire department showed up and indicated that it smelled like something had burned in a microwave, but we didn't see a microwave in the affected area. Upon further search, it was discovered that that was the cause and the FD was really nice about having to be called out for such a petty thing, but us {security} and the engineers {who had also JUST arrived for their shift} were definitely not amused.

The individual had put something in the microwave, hit a button and walked away {out of the area} to do something, assuming that it would stop after a minute. Skip ahead to a code red, the FD showing up, running around for a good 10 minutes and finally locating a charred piece of an unidentifiable object, he wasn't even sorry for his negligence. Instead, he was making jokes. NOT FUNNY FUCKER.

It was too damn early for something like that. The whole ordeal was over in about 20 minutes, but it was still a lot more action than any of us wanted to deal with that early in the morning.

The rest of the shift was fairly uneventful, but the fact that we were shot out of a cannon first thing in the morning, the adrenaline that usually builds in slow increments throughout the day had already come, been used up and was gone by mid shift. I'm super glad that my heater was fixed today and that nap just felt so refreshing.

One more day left and I'm hoping tomorrow is the most boring day at work ever. Maybe just a few busy calls to help pass the time, but I definitely do not want to have a repeat of how this morning started out.

And that's all I have for today. We'll see how tomorrow goes.

Until then. . .
