I never thought I'd see the day when I would be unhappy to be sent home. Five years ago, when I was gainfully unemployed, I might have chafed, but I'm so used to work now that I can't imagine loafing; I hate taking vacation days. To get to the point there was a huge fire in a warehouse almost diagonally opposite from our workplace, and it might have passed as unnoticed as a seven-alarmer could but a strong northeast wind blew the smoke right into our building and made my eyes sting; embers dotted the walkway and the grass. With our ventilation shut off and the water pressure low our director sent us packing. Seeing the above picture it is no wonder our cities have been so prone to arson; this was a fire trap, and give a local retard two sticks and you have three "news" helicopters flying over the neighborhood. I still faintly reek of smoke, though I've gotten out of my clothes.

Here's hoping we're more or less back to normal tomorrow; I was looking forward to a sea of Hillary and Messiah signs at the entrance (the building is a city polling place).

P. S. A company called APB Transportation was ensconced there; not long ago it had put a spiffy sign atop the building. Oh well.

CORRECTION at 10:00 a.m. IfItBleedsItLeads.com is reporting the trucking company survived, but something burned.
