BRB -- The Building is on Fire

As you can see from the size of the response truck the Paramount lot sent over, we were in immediate danger. Of laughing our asses off.



Initially there were reports of smoke in the air ducts over in the tape vault, but nobody really paid attention because that's clear on the other side of the studio. Then somebody said the roof was on fire. We're the media and everyone is used to everyone else being over dramatical -- therefore the entire staff continued to work away at their stations.

Meanwhile, I was also typing away with my buddy Christopher via IM. Suddenly, we were being ushered from the building, security rushed in and got all serious. I did kind of smell smoke.

I sent a quick message saying, "BRB -- the building is on fire."

Nothing to panic about. Besides, I'm never too quick to react to reports of a fire. I'm such a flamer I've been known to set off an alarm or two.
