Fire Alarms

Last night was interesting... not really, but still a little bit.

I was lying in bed... reading Real Simple (the best magazine EVER!), when the fire alarm in our apartment went off. For like three seconds only. I looked at Laura and Howard (her boyfriend who was visiting for the evening), and we decided... well, it stopped, no smoke billowing for our neighbor's apartments. Lets ignore it.

I lie down again... and it goes off once more.

Ok, now we were like, what is going on here. Is it both a smoke alarm and a carbon monoxide monitor... because we can tell there is no smoke, but if its carbon monoxide, we should jet. While we were checking to see if the batteries were low, it goes off again, and this time, won't stop.

So, we leave the apartment. I grab the cat and head outside...

We call the apartment company... beep them, etc.

Meanwhile, the alarm doesn't go off again (we had the windows open, so I think we would have heard it), go upstairs... and wait. Good news... it didn't go off again. When the apartment maintenance guy calls, he tells us it was probably malfunctioning, but unless we can tell him which one was beeping red, he can't come in fix it.

Howard heads out for the night... and Laura and I decide to go to bed. It hasn't gone off since, but we will keep an eye out for the red flashing one...

Ok, sorry... just leading a pretty boring life, but wanted to update this thing.
