and in absurd news

[rm]

Last night my father sort of went missing, but I shrugged it off assuming that he just bribed someone to let him stay overnight at the hospital with mom.

It turns out there was a fire at the hospital and the hospital was put on lockdown so he got trapped there.

So everyone is fine, but what the hell?

They lock people in when a building catches fire???

On the surface that sounds a bit odd LOL but I guess the fire was under control then and it was a security measure.

It's a huge sprawling facility with many interconnected buildings, so I think it's a bit like containing fire on a vessel -- fire doors come down to prevent it form spreading, so while the fire is fought in one area people in unaffected areas can't run around and make shit more difficult. What not one has told me yet is if he was with my mother at the time or got stuck in some other part of the building (the cafeteria is like a mile away).
