Today, I woke up to the sound of my roommate cursing at our smoke detector. You know that annoying sound that it makes when it's out of batteries? Yeah the one that sounds like a high pitch screech every 20 seconds. I dont blame her. She just got off work from her job and this smoke detector that's on low battery is keeping her from sleeping at 6 in the morning. She then asks me to take it down to stop the noise, which seems to get louder with every screech. I pull the plug on it and it lies on the table dead. I talk to my roomate for about 5 minutes and then she goes to her room to finally get some sleep. SCREEECH! Is all I hear as soon as i put my head down and sink into my covers. I jump up, grab the smoke detector, and place it outside. Hmm. Problem solved. Amazing how an interaction so simple can open opportunities. Now I'm on here at 7 in the morning doing more training. Oh yeah. Please remind me to replace the batteries on that smoke detector before I forget.
