Today Scottie was awesome and put together terrariums as a surprise for my office! His plan was to remind me of when I worked in Maine with Fish & Wildlife protecting my lovely little Piping Plovers. The plants, with the exception of the moss, are all alive. :3 The ponytail palm reminds me of beach grass (which was his intent), and he has tiny little bird eggs nesting in the sand, which looks like the Plover nests! It is just soooo sweet of him to have done this for me. :D

He's so sweet. :D
Yesterday at work, at 4:30 pm the fire alarm started going off. I was confused, and not sure if it was a drill. The fire alarm has never gone off before when I've been there. I've been with Fish & Game for like more than 3 years at this point, but I've spent a fair amount of time in the field, working from home, or on even on leave.
I ran back to my cubicle to grab my jacket and went outside. Winter is here already, so I'm glad I grabbed the jacket! Since it was so close to the end of the day, a lot of people just got in their cars and drove off. I was still assuming it was a fire drill until the fire truck showed up! The firefighters didn't seem terribly concerned, and I didn't see any fire or smoke, so I was hoping it was something minor.
It turned out that this all happened because someone overcooked a bag of microwave popcorn in the breakroom! OMG! One of my coworkers told me that there was another fire alarm about a year and a half ago because someone burned toast! I'm rather amused by so much fuss over such a small thing. xD
