Today there was another unscheduled fire drill in our building at 16:15. Unfortunately, I was on another floor, so when I returned upstairs to retrieve my stuff, somebody who works on my floor told me I couldn't go in. Pretty sure it was a false alarm. I didn't have the energy to wait for the all-clear which could take at least 10 minutes, and I had already walked down eighteen (thirty-six, technically) flights of stairs, so I went home with my time card, ID card, cell phone and pen in hand.

I had a fun time with a bunch of grad mates last night. We went bowling at Gateway Lanes, but I didn't play because of previous experience with bowling balls. Then it was dinner at Sicilian Pasta Kitchen in southwest Edmonton, where I ordered a linguine marinara. We then had bubble tea at some tiny restaurant near Old Strathcona. We relived many moments from high school and the early years in university. I was the only one who had to get up at 06:00 the next morning, and I got home around midnight, but didn't actually sleep until 01:00. To top it off, I had a sore throat, so I got a grand total of three hours of sleep last night. Thankfully I managed to slog through today at work and when I retuned home after the fire drill, I dozed off almost immediately.
