THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON EVERY 10 SECONDS FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF NOW! AND THERE IS A ****ING STROBE LIGHT FLASHING TOO! I PUT ON MY ****ING HEADPHONES AND I CAN STILL HEAR IT AND SEE THE ****ING STROBE LIGHT! I JUST LOOKED AT IT AND NOW I HAVE A ****ING GREEN SPOT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY VISION! AND ALL OF THIS IS LOCATED RIGHT ABOVE MY CUBICLE! MOTHER ****ER! SON OF A ****ING BITCH! FPOMF! I AM GOING TO KILL SOMEONE, I SWEAR TO GOD! I CAN'T CONCENTRATE ON ANYTHING! ****!

We have those, too. I've got one right over my desk.

When they're working on them, someone comes over the intercom and goes 'please disregard the fire alarms - maintenance will be working on the fire alarms for the next 2 hours - please disregard the fire alarms'.

:kelvin: LIKE I CAN DISREGARD THEM, YOU FECKHOLES!!!!

OK, so they stopped for two minutes. I took off my headphones. THEN THE ****ING THING STARTED AGAIN! The ****ing alarm gods are really ****ING ME OFF! Now the alarm gods have decided to randomly put one minute pauses between tests. YOU CAN'T FOOL ME, YOU STUPID MOTHER ****ERS! I'M GOING TO FIND YOU AND KILL YOU!

The pause between tracks is ABSOLUTELY the worst invention EVER CREATED! I'd like to RIP THE ALARM GOD'S HEADS OFF AND **** DOWN THEIR NECK HOLE! AHHHHHHHHHHRGGHHHH!!! Oh my, I just can't TAKE THIS ANYMORE! I'd prefer to be subjected to American Idol for 8 hours straight. CAN YOU HEAR ME ALARM GODS???? AMERICAN ****ING IDOL!

It's the cleaning lady.

That bitch.

Oh god I hate her.

The best thing is 30 minutes after they decided to push me over the edge, I got this email:


Please advise your employees that Simplex will be testing the alarms and speaker systems in the Building today.

No **** sherlock? You'd better watch your ****ing back.

Well Norm...maybe your "Administrator of Pain" title is having a role-reversal problem today.

I'll bet all of upper management is up in the crow's roost watching to see which employee cracks first. Weeding out the weak ones...seeing who can hack it and who can't....

'...look at Norm...I think he's gonna go...who had Norm?...anyone have Norm to go first?...WAIT!...I think the pauses are getting to him...get on the radio and make the pauses 10 seconds apart...yeah...is he...is he sweating?...are his hands trembling?...WHO HAD NORM, DAMMIT?...'

I'll never understand why the facility idiots have to test the alarms during working hours? Maybe it's their way of getting back at all us desk jockeys...

Norm In Norman

OK, they think they can fool me, but I know better now. DO YOU HEAR ME??? I'm about to make use of the restroom facilities. If there is an alarm in there, I may just try and **** on it.

This system has been in for about 2 or 3 years and they've NEVER done this before. Way back when I was in the basement they would do a fire drill and we wouldn't even hear it. Someone would have to go down and warn us.

'...he's going to the men's room...do we have a camera in there?...do we?...he'll snap and we'll miss it...someone get a camera...is he...no way...is he dooking on...omg...WHO THE F*** HAD NORM???...'

Did they take your red stapler? Please tell me they didn't come get your red stapler.

So in the restroom just the light flashed. I've gone about 5 minutes without hearing the announcement though.

They can't fool me.

Eh, I just didn't give an update in time.

To top it off, I got a parking ticket this morning. I've been carpooling with a manager that has a reserved space for the past 2 years and they pick TODAY to give me a ticket. I am going to throw a big assed fit if they don't cancel it.

You got it.

Guess what.

THEY ARE TESTING AGAIN! The 3 and a half hour gap actually fooled me. Also they fooled me when it said "testing concluded" a little while ago. I won't be fooled so easily again.

Whatever you do, don't have a drink before you drive home. No doubt there will be a roadside sobriety test and you will somehow blow a .10.

You people do realize that this thread should make you all smile and feel good, don't you? All you gotta do is think "damn, I sure am happy I ain't Norm. How much would that suck?"

I CAN'T CONCENTRATE ON ANYTHING! ****!you know, this looks like a thread I almost posted last night. They were doing their test of the emergency broadcast system on TV and rather than testing it once they did it 4 or 5 times. each time the voice would say "this concludes the test..." and it'd start again.

but I have to hand it to you--you sure know how to brighten up my day :D

Just when I start concentrating on something, it sounds like the Enterprise is about to be attacked by Klingons. DAMMIT JIM, I'M A PROGRAMMER NOT A <insert some profession where alarms are normal and easily ignored here>!

If you really want to get even, what you do is set the building on fire during the test and let everyone burn to death because it is JUST a drill!! Next time they will do it when the building is empty
