Mixed Feelings About This Stay

false alarm broken chargers

The fire alarm decided to have a party at 4:45 AM. I had to stand outside in my nightwear for nearly an hour. Apparently, a smoker caused it. They did not manage this well. Information was scarce. The electric vehicle chargers were also out of service. Sarcasm intended, of course.
