hollywood and vine is da bomb

we had a bomb threat at work. all of a sudden security announces over the loudspeaker for everyone to go to the east side of the building asap, that this is not a drill. turns out that since we work in such a landmark building, we get bomb threats several times a day. security just decides which ones to take seriously and which to not take seriously. holy hell. so of course everyone's like wtf?

so we go outside and sit. and sit. and sit. and the bomb squad cars come by and the police block off vine between hollywood and yucca street. and we sit some more. and i chain smoke. and it's hot as fuck out there. and sal and manny and i keep talking about going to the corner dive bar for beers but no one goes. so i smoke some more. and a group of us take a walk around the block as i light up yet another. finally we ask the police if it's okay to go back in and they say yes.
