IKEA

First trip to IKEA today. I loooove the store.

One thing- they had a problem with the fire alarm. It kept going off and going off about every 2 minutes. It was truly ear-splitting.

After it stopped (half an hour or so later), they made an announcement that they had been testing the alarm. If you were testing, wouldn't you
a) test it after hours, and
b) announce the test before beginning?

I think it was broken, and they didn't want us to leave. Thing is- you can't leave. It's a maze. You know? It's got arrows directing you and everything. It would have taken us 30 minutes at a full-out run to get out of there. So yeah, it was most excellent that it wasn't a real fire.

My favorite stuff was the lighting. They have the coolest inexpensive lighting ever.
