The Rube Goldberg Method, Prison Style

Once again we didn't go out to work today. Instead I tried to rest off the cold/flu that has attacked me. I couldn't sleep at all because of pain in my head combined with light and noise around me. Maybe it will be gone by the time my folks show up this weekend.

Yesterday at dinner someone pulled the fire alarm. Most everyone filed out of the dining hall but those that were eating were left behind. To fix the problem, since the alarm could not be reset in the original position, the officers taped up the alarm tightly. So now if there really is a fire the alarm is inoperable and all the doors are locked. Sounds like a great opportunity to sue the state. I almost wish something would have happened.
