...ilver flask from your drawer, reaching up to unscrew the lid with two fingers. Mesmerized by the narcoleptic hold music, you start to tilt the mickey to your mouth. Then you remember where you are, and glance around surreptitiously to make sure that none of your nosy co-workers — or management — are watching. Screw the security cameras, they're ten years old, anyhow.

A woman's voice answers. She'd probably sound sultry to you, if you didn't already know that this wasn't a 900 number. Also, if you weren't drinking at the office. But that's another issue altogether.

"Hello, this is 911." The operator sounds harried. "What seems to be the problem?"

You quickly try and recall what it was you were calling about.

"I'm about to blow up my office, and I just wanted to give you the heads up."
