One night during SB2 in Atlanta, in the hotel, the fire alarm went off. Actually, they aren’t fire alarms any more–they are “emergency” alarms. Anyway, at 3:45am it went off. 10 minutes of a klaxon followed by a barely intelligible announcement.

It was nothing.

Yesterday, during personal consultations in my hotel room, at about 9:30 am, it happened here in Philly. Again, it was nothing, but the robotic announcements continued for 10 minutes at least and made it very hard to work.

Just now, it happened again. As I was packing up my stuff to leave for the train station. Now I’m stuck as they said not to get on the elevators or anything until they make an additional announcement. This time I heard sirens on the street.

I’m not overly concerned–they are doing renovations on the hotel so it is very likely a false alarm caused by some construction stuff. Also, I have hours before my train still.

However, I am starting to think that I might be just a little cursed or something.

[just got the all clear, btw]
