Fire Drill

Created by Vicki 2 years ago

Martha and I worked together and our office was above a Day Centre. Martha and I had just made a mid morning coffee (her favourite frothy latte) when rhe fire alarm went off. Martha was loathe to leave her coffee and encouraged me to do the same. So we walked into the morning sunshine clutching our steaming mugs and stood at our meeting point. When we returned a messaged was relayed to us that taking our coffee on a fire drill was not acceptable (especially if we needed free hands if a wheelchair user needed our assistance). I was mortified but Martha in own her interminable way rolled her eyes and said "that's us told Vicster".
