Living under more danger than we have to

A nice complicated panel with about 22 lights which was linked to smoke detectors in about 20 areas of the school. Funny thing? Of the other two lights, the one with the label "défectuosité" was lit for about two weeks on an otherwise dark panel.


It's only after a microwave going kaput (either from it's old age or because it got some help), producing smoke and a foul smelling combination of burnt food and electronics without the smoke alarms tripping did we finally see somebody, a day or two afterwards, hunched over that panel.

But of course, those two weeks shouldn't have affected you all that much I expect. You all know how the building can't burn because of the asbestos in it, or that if it did burn, most of us would burn with it because of the outrageously small stair cases and strategically constricted hallways.

And damn, when is that new building coming around?

  1. Even if they change buildings, they'll keep the hallways small. It's the government's prevalent measure against obesity. They're always going on and on about burning more calories. In this case, they perhaps took it too literally.
