Last day working at Fareway today. Coworkers decided to get tortillas, spread hummus on them, spray whip cream on top of that, and then throw them at me as soon as I clocked off. I was covered in it and so was the prep area lol.
Well that was interesting... I'm at work marking some product and happened to look outside and see all this water rushing off the roof. Mind you it's not raining and all the snow that was once on the roof was all melted a few days ago. So I go outside and look and all I can really see is the water rushing off the roof. So I walk inside and I see a bunch of water dripping out this fluorescent light on the ceiling.
So I'm like WTF, and I run and grab our mop bucket and put it under the water leaking in the building. Thennn, the fire alarm starts going off and I should probably mention if you didn't know already, I work in a firework store. I instantly knew that there was probably no fire in the building and it was just going off because the sprinkler burst but I'd be lying if i said that my butthole didn't pucker up a little bit.
To wrap up this story, the fire department came and confirmed what I already knew that it was a burst sprinkler. So they shut it off and left. The owner came in and went up in the attic of the building and said there is a lot of water damage in the attic.
It could have been a lot worse if the leak happened on one of our tables full of fireworks or if I wasn't here.
Death is not the worst of evils.
You can't be down, when you're always high.

Did you see teh footage of that Firework Shop/factory/storage in Denmark that caught fire? @-) It was some pretty amazing footage. I'll try to find it if you haven't seen it.
A room I frequently spin in on Turntable called Turntable Rock Stars is hosting an Industrial night tonight :> starts at 8 if anyone wants in. I'm gonna get so many points for playing stuff I save for different rooms.
Yeah dude. Let's just hope that there's a never a Denmark-type incident at your store.
Agreed. *knocks on wood* However our store isn't that big so if it did happen there would definitely be some damage but not as bad as that. Also if I had to guess those factory's probably had professional grade fireworks in them.
I once kicked out these two younger looking guys because one of them was flicking a zippo lighter in his pocket.

Aww I feel like a dick haha. A couple weeks ago, I mentioned that I wanted to get Batman: Arkham City. So, my Mom goes to the store today, comes back, and she's like "Is this the Batman game you wanted?", she bought Batman: Arkham Asylum, and I was really touched real talk, 'cause she never does random surprises like that anymore, always did it when I was a kid. But I told her no, and she looked like a little puppy that knows it did something wrong. Fuark. :-< Not too bad, just means she gets her money back, but damn, I feel bad.
