sometimes i go right from work to the gym...or to yoga...or on a walk.  i change into my workout clothes in (a) my personal changing room (also known as "the closet in my office"), or (b) the women's bathroom.  without fail, every time i'm in the middle of changing i have the thought: "what if the fire alarm went off RIGHT NOW.  i am naked and would panic and that is the worst possible scenario."  why do i have these thoughts?  because i went to boarding school and then college and the fire alarm has gone off twice while i was in the shower.  there is not much that will incite more panic in a person than a fire drill while she is naked.

i think we can all agree on that.
