Csütörtökről - About thursday

Yesterday i left work two hours earlier and went to the Civic Centre to ask them if i could receive some help for my rent. And yes. I will get 44 pounds housing benefit a week, 'coz i live alone and i'm on minimum wage. This is really great, it means i don't have to accept the first anyone who wants to rent the other room, plus i won't live up all the savings i inadvertently made with the tax code thing.

And we strated the day with a little fire alarm at the factory :D Just about 10 minutes after we came back from teabreak (our section is the last to go, 11:20-30 - way too late, btw) so we just started up again, when the alarm went off. Nobody cared for a while because we actually have firealarm test on thursday, just not at 11:30 but at 12:30. It just didn't stopped after 5-6 seconds as it used to - so after 8-9 seconds, at roughly the same moment, everyone realiezed what's going on. There was no smoke, so i wasn't woriied a bit, and it was actually fun - all smokrs started to smoke right after we gathered at the fire point :)
We already had a fire alarm, about two years back, at winter; also on a thursday, but around 9 o'clock, and that was a real thing, we could smell smoke (only faintly) while we went outside - into the could, no jackets... Than the fire trucks arrived, and we stood there freezing for about 20 minutes.
