The wandering mind

[ksmith]

In a file room, inventorying documents.

You know your mind is not 100% on-task when you pause to consider how you would get out of the file room if the Bad Guys ™ locked you in. Door knob is actually a handle equipped with a combo lock, but it is on the outside and handle could be jammed.

But. Hinges are on the inside, and 3 of 4 have already partially popped due to use. I have a pair of heavy-duty scissors to use as a pry. The room is equipped with sprinklers, so if I had matches/a lighter in my purse, I could set those off, thus notifying Security.

The rooms are modular–movable walls, so I could also possibly knock out panels if desperate enough.

Glad that’s settled.

Heh.

When I would drive with my Dad, I would ask him scenario questions. "What if that car (coming in the other direction) drifted into our lane? What if that person pulled in front of us and cut us off? What if that semi...?"

Do you feel at all comfortable contemplating the state of the ductwork?

[kristine-smith.livejournal.com]

It's a newer building, so ductwork may not have been too grimy. There are older buildings on the site, however...no, you would not want to contemplate the state of that ductwork.

I used to think along similar lines whenever I had to go into a huge walk-in refrigerator at one of my first jobs. Terrified me.

I am so glad I'm not the only one who thinks about stuff like this....
