If only I'd been able to get home before the majority of the workforce today... There's a photocopied OFFICIAL NOTICE posted in the mailbox area of every building of the apartment complex, mentioning tha the annual fire alarm inspection will be held on April 1st, and thus, not to panic if the fire alarms sound on that day.
How awesome would it have been to be able to go around and remove these notices before any of the other residents saw them? Hahaha!
No, wait... how even AWESOMER would it be to go around posting these in an apartment complex, if you were an arsonist, and then actually set fires on that day, and no one would evacuate? Hahaha... ha... heh. Hoo. I may have to take my kittens to work with me on Friday, just in case.

Like, they named 'Fire Marshals' 'Searchers' etc for each floor and bade us come to this meeting with a fire chief. I am 'Elevator Bank Monitor' for my floor. I do wonder if it's a huge prank, but I kind of figure a building with 48 floors right next to the Sears Tower would have more sense than to pull prank alarms.

The point being, your worries make sense to me, or at least would have, when I was 19, not sleeping, depressed, paranoid and dirt poor. You're not a weird guy, Ed. You just love your cats.
