help, Help, HELP....FIRE!!!!

So....tonight was an interesting night at work. Everyone had left and the night laundry guy had just come in. He asked if he could have the last cookie that we set out for guests and I told him he could and if he wanted to, he could make some more. I didn't think by my telling him that that he would put the dough in the microwave as a method to bake cookies. I'm peacefully checking my email when all of a sudden the fire alarms are going off in the hotel. I panicked because I wasn't sure what to do. I work at a new hotel and we are still working out the bugs in a lot of the systems. All at once, people started calling the front desk asking if it was a a fire drill or if there was an actual fire. I am going crazy answering guests questions and trying to get the Asst. GM on the phone and the 911 was busy. And the night laundry guy was no help. He just disappeared. I finally got the fire department on the phone and my GM came from her house to shut off the system. It was just a crazy night. The fire truck arrived about 15 minutes after everything calmed down. An hour after the firemen left, a police officer shows up and he starts asking me if i have seen a guy named, so and so, and he describes him for me. I'm just like "wtf". Right now I have 2.5 more hours until I can go to one of the hotel rooms and sleep and then return at 3 and work some more.

In other news, I hung out with John today and we went to Olive Garden for dinner. That was pretty nice and we hung out and fell asleep until it was time for me to come to work. I went to the gym and ran before he got to my house. I didn't have a lot of time so I only ran 2 miles. I cut my work out short, but I felt guilty for not working out the day before, so I felt it was better to do something rather than nothing.

I think that is all I have to write for today. i'm going to take a break and sit down on the couch in the lobby. Peace!
