All Of My Days Have Been Misspent
I was just in the shower and the smoke alarm went off. I was in the middle of shaving my legs. Rather than running right out of the shower, as one should when the smoke alarm goes off, I finished shaving. What the fuck? What am I thinking? In my mind I was thinking, "Nothing's on fire. I don't even smell smoke." I should not have been thinking that. I should have been rounding up the cats and dogs and ushering them to safety. But no I had to make sure my legs weren't hairy. Nice to know where my priorities lie.
There was no fire. I ran outside with only my towel on and cannot see fire in any other condos. I wonder if someone hit the master alarm outside or something. The alarm wouldn't stop though. I stood there praying for it to stop. The dogs were going apeshit, the cats were running around like maniacs. I tried to take the batteries out but we have those indestructable smoke detectors. Finally after about 10 minutes of me crying, the dogs barking and the cats meowing they went off.
