What an awful smell!

Fire in our building today. AWFUL electrical smell. Couldn't find the source. Server room? A/C units?? Evacuated everyone, firemen showed up, we all counted noses while the guys went in...

Turned out it was a fluorescent light ballast self-destructing. My GOODNESS that can stink up a big building awfully darn fast.

We got four fire trucks and a police car for a broken light!

Reminds me of my embarrassing moment when I overcooked my pastry in the microwave and emptied an entired downtown building with the fire alarm. *horrors*

Wow, that's impressively effective! :)
