Annoyances

While sitting in my room, doing some homework.....the fire alarm goes off. Not only is it the most obnoxious sound imaginable, it was also a really inconveinent time for it to go off. It happened at about 12:30 p.m. and I had class at 1:00. So, I was trying to finish my work for the class.....because I DO NOT go to class without my work done. So, I grabbed my keys and my jacket; and left my room. When I got to the front door, I saw that it was raining. Not just sprinkling...but pouring! Rather than standing out in the rain, I decided to just get in my car. After sitting there for a few minutes, I drove around the building to see if anyone else came out.......no, they didn't. Wtf? I parked my car again and waited to see what happened. My Resident Director opened one of the doors and looked outside, and then went back in. So, I thought maybe the alarm stopped. I opened my car door to listen, and unfortunately, I still heard it. I waited some more, and in the meantime, the rain was getting worse. It was really coming down. Finally, security pulled up and went in the building to turn the alarm off. It was obvious that the dorm was not on fire, and the alarm just tripped itself. After about 5 minutes, the security guards come back outside, get in their car, and drive away. At this point, I'm thinking the alarm is turned off, and I'm going back inside. I got out of my car in the rain, and walked up the steps....when I got on the porch, I realized........the alarm is still going off!!! I went ahead and went up to my floor, and as I was walking down the hall, the alarm stopped. It was now 12:50; my homework was not done; and I had class in 10 minutes. I was so pissed off, that I said "screw it", and decided to skip class. Basically, my day was ruined by the rain and the fire alarm. Nice.
