Yesterday, at work, I recieved an email letting me know that I had been “selected to volunteer” (Oxymoron?) to be the Floor Captain for our new emergency evacuation plan. Now I’m a Floor Captain and have 2 searchers and 2 stairwell monitors that report up to me (if there’s an emergency that is). But, the real question is why me. Was I selected as the Floor Captain because they feel I would have the ability to take control in an emergency situation? Or is it that I’m expendable and there’s no hurry to get me out of the building? I’m going to assume it’s the former.
