There is screaming outside my door at work. They are testing the fire alarms, which I had requested happen only during hours when program participants aren't here. The company will not comply with that request without a big honking surcharge. Cannot afford the big honking surcharge.
Thus, the alarms have been going off all morning.
People with severe or profound intellectual disabilities do not like this.
People with autism do not like this.
People who have an intellectual disability compounded by a mental illness do not like this.
People who are just generally irritable do not like this.
The staff don't like it, just on general principle.
To express their great displeasure at the noise, various and sundry individuals in the program have decided to scream in protest. Staff would, too, but we're not allowed.
No work shall get done this morning. Where's my tylenol?
