Wow, I"m impressed you managed to grab those things AND go knock on peoples' doors! I probably would've gotten distracted trying to find shoes and keys and would've like, left my wallet sitting there or something, much less vital docs!
After not one but two fires in high school (at school) I got very used to (a) believing fire alarms and (b) grabbing my stuff when leaving. But I think a couple years of drunk asses pulling fire alarms in college trained it right back out of me.
What I read recently was that NYTimes article about how in many modern high rises it's safer to shelter in place, if there's a fire, rather than trying to take the stairs (which may fill with smoke--recent fire a couple guys died that way, whereas people who stayed in their apartments were fine). But that's so against instinct, man. And how do you know when it's bad enough you should try to leave vs not? Just makes me never want to live on the 30th floor of anywhere, I guess?
Oh, I *so* wanted to spend my day off doing all the laundry since Casper pulled what I think is a louse off her head this morning.
Yikes, flea.
Happy birthday, Anne! And extra eye~ma!
Do I want to go to this? [link]
No idea, Tom.
Flea, that's awful. Ick. I hope it was not, and was a random other bug, a kind that does not infest anyone or anything.
I hate being awake early for meetings, especially after I went out late the night before. I know that's my own fault, but...ugh.

Of course you do. It's Pat Kiernan. And it's just $5.
The eye appointment went well - I'm somewhat at risk for MD, but nothing is actually degenerating. That was good news to start off my birthday.
Yay, eyes!
And it's snowing in Utah. This should not be a news story, but there you are. Big, fat, fluffy flakes, pulling the gunk out of the air.
That's good news for a birthday, Anne -- hippo birdies!
I have Yet Another Contracting Firm interview, so that's something.
