consecutive safety drills

 at work in the early afternoon there was consecutive safety drills. first was the fire drill, then the tornado drill. i am told it was the first time in three years, due to covid, so the first ones i had been in at the bank. at one minute after, i left the shop, figuring it was time. found out there was instant messaging on my phone, and an email sent. no alarm as the branch manager said it would have meant the fire and police department would have arrived. and we didn't want to panic any customers. i am thankful i moved up my lunchtime, not knowing how long it would take. but it was done in just over 10 minutes. first one was in the upper level entryway, second was in the breakroom. i still made it to walgreen a little later, and when i was leaving i saw some food in a bag near the front door. i inspected it and claimed the two bags of microwave popcorn, and popped up one of them in the evening. it may have been expired, but it still tasted fine. the rest of what was in the bag appeared to be perishable so i did well on claiming only the popcorn. a tech arrived to work on the check printer, and it printed for the first time in just over a month. so swapping out the fan worked. i showed the prints because there still was some extra ink on them so i was advised to keep using the other printer as the primary as parts still need to be ordered and a configuration was being done as well. for some reason the ticket was closed, but i let the tech know about it. i drank the can of surly with the evening meal so now 5 beers are waiting. later on i went on a walk and found 71 cents. the 'big bang theory' rerun was when leonard and penny had a fight and sheldon said he should have held out for more than a comic book and a robot.
