Fire in the Hole

After finishing my trainer meeting at the HRC I walked out of the function room to find smoke, the rest of the managers, and firemen. Yep, there was a fire at the rock today. We had to evacuate the building, all the guests, the cooks...everyone. Six fire trucks in Times Square and a bunch of cold employees on the street. It's amazing how calm I can stay in these situations. I just politely asked everyone to leave and escorted them out. No worries. Once we were all out on the street, there was really no use for sticking around. The FDNY had taken over completely. Ally, Graziella and I walked over to Starbucks where is was safe, we could get a tasty treat and watch from a distance. The fire was in the walls and was probably started by a cigarette being thrown into a crack from the outside. The insulation was burning inside and I'm sure it wasn't good to breathe in. When they finally re-opened the building there were piles of burnt insulation and well, I didn't really feel like inhaling any of that in. I'm so consious of my health now. So, I went home. What a weird day. What a weird week.
