| I'm in my cube. On a level of 1 to 10 how worried should I be?
I'm stuck at about 3 which is, some dunderhead probably microwaved something for too long and then threw it out in the trash can in their cube. But 4 or above is me actually standing up and looking around.
Should I escalate this to a 4? (Please note that by the time you reply I may, in fact, have burned to a horrible death).

Pathetic Earthlings. Hurling your bodies out into the void - without the slightest inkling of who or what is out here. If you had known anything about the true nature of the universe - anything at all - you would have hidden from it in terror. | |

| I think an immediate escalation to 4 would be acceptable. Have you made a listen check on potential rumours of burnt popcorn?

| Well I did escalate it to 4 and I strolled around.
I couldn't find anything obviously on fire so I returned to my cube. It's been a solid hour without sign of fire and the smell has diminished.
Looks like I'm safe for another day  | |

| I usually dumb things like that down to a 1 or 2 so if people ask me, I "had no idea because I was working so hard". My logic is if something is on fire at work, it will get bigger and out of control and maybe burn up some important things I need to do my job. That leads to the possibility of me not needing to come into work for awhile until it's fixed. Or I may get to work from home. Or they'll move me to another area which will still eat up my time on the clock. Either way, it's in my favor.

See, I feel like I've got 2 emergency exits within 30 feet of my cube, and honestly I'm pretty apathetic about my cube.
Anyhow, zero excitement, just some guy or gal burning his or her food I suppose :P

Here comes old rosie shes looking mighty fine
Here comes hot nancy shes steppin right on time
There go the street lights bringin on the night
Here come the men faces hidden from the light
All through the shadows they come and they go
With only one thing in common
They got the fire down below
Here comes the rich man in his big long limousine
Here comes the poor man all you got to have is green
Here comes the banker and the lawyer and the cop
One thing for certain it aint never gonna stop
When it all gets too heavy
Thats when they come and go
With only one thing in common
They got the fire down below
It happens out in vegas happens in moline
On the blue blood streets of boston
Up in berkeley and out in queens
And it went on yesterday and its going on tonight
Somewhere theres somebody aint treatin somebody right
And hes looking out for rosie and shes looking mighty fine
And hes walking the streets for nancy
And hell find her everytime
When the street light flicker bringing on the night
Well theyll be slipping into darkness slipping out of sight
All through the midnight
Watch em come and watch em go
With only one thing in common
They got the fire down below
