Fried Everything

*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP*
Alert there has been a fire emergency detected in this complex.  Please remain on hold while we blast loud alarm noises to deafen you and allow the fire to spread through out the building.  If in fact there is a fire emergency the alarm will sound after this message repeats ad nauseum.

Our Pleasant, but Alarm plagued home
Emily and I have been enjoying our stay at our new home in MacGregor for a couple months now.  The GRT suite is cozy, the people are great, and the cost cannot be beat.  However, our pleasant home has recently become plagued with an omnipresent alarm system.

Recently a group of students deep fried everything in sight while maintaining a regulated environment which avoided any alarms from triggering.  Only hours later however, the sound of alarms filled the building around 4am seemingly caused by nothing more that temperature fluctuations outside.  This has been repeated frequently since including at 3am this morning and no less than 8 times the past few weeks.  It's unclear what the problem is but rumor has it that there is a water pressure sensor gone awry in the basement.  Frustrated students have begun the construction of a digital clock to count the hours since the last alarm which is an upgrade from last year's duct tape day tally.

*BEEP*,
