I'm stuck

I just got back from lunch to find out there's a gas leak nearby. The police won't let anybody in or out. Not sure why we can't get out. They have the road blocked off around me.
I wish I took 5 minutes longer coming back from lunch, so they wouldn't let me in :(
Sure hope I don't blow up.

Re: I'm stuck

  • I'm sorry, that last part made me laugh. It is weird that they won't let you out, maybe they don't think that you are in danger and they are trying to contain it without mass panic?

  • Update: My big boss told my coworkers who are stuck down the road to park their car at the shopping center & walk. They tried & aren't allowed to do that either. The officer told them all the businesses have been evacuated. Hmm, did they forget about us?
    So I went for a walk to find out the scoop for myself. It seems some businesses were evacuated, but not ours. Big boss says to stay put. Boo.
    I'm starting to get a headache. I'm sure it's just coincidental, but still has me a little nervous.

    The rest of my coworkers are all hanging out at the shopping plaza. They're probably all at Texas Roadhouse drinking cocktails.

    Look at the brightside, you are making money while they are spending it :)  I could go for some Texas toast though :)

    The bright side is I'd probably have to out myself if everyone was really drinking cocktails & I wasn't.
    My boss just got back. She said she walked through the woods to get past the cop. Lol. Talk about dedication. I sure as hell wouldn't have done that. What a trooper.

    Seems like I missed my calling to write episodes for Raymond & the Office. Lol.
    New update: Coworkers are starting to trickle in. Sara, you were right. Most are complaining of spending money on things they really didn't need. Wahh! What a sad story.

  • Depending on the gas and the wind direction it might be safer for you to stay put. As someone who is HAZWOPER certified, I would suggest you listen to what the authorities are telling you. Gas leaks are no joke, you could be killed in an instant and literally not even see it coming. There are many more dangers to gas than whether they are flammable or not. Please be careful.
