an adrenaline fueled few moments...

I got a little excitement today...

The smoke detector and fire alarm on my floor went off and discharged the automated fire extinguisher system - if this sounds logical then it is because my heart rate is now back to normal and my logical faculties are obviously working... I can even laugh at it now but i kid you not - it wasn't funny when it happened and I hope this kind of hing never occurs again.

When this happened - the entire office tried to fit through one door and it might have been funny in hindsight but funny was the least of our worries when it occurred.

In a tense situation - a calm mind tends to produce better results than a frantic, panic clogged one.
At no time was this lesson driven home than when this event transpired - people first raced out then finally allowed some sentiment of logic to operate when bits and pieces of the story started coming out.

The adrenaline for the fight or flight syndrome is finally wearing off, I'm feeling tired and sleepy and worn out - perhaps the ill effects of coming down from my "adrenaline" high...

In all - it was an exciting few moments...
