The window outside the kitchen area at my work is the one that goes to the fire escape. This is the same fire escape that the robbers came in through to steal three computers, a projector and a throw rug to carry them all out with. But they’ve put a better lock on it since then.
They are removing this fire escape as part of the building remodel. I’ve never sat on it, myself, but a coworker did on a regular basis.
Still, I’ve enjoyed having it and will miss it when it is gone.
Update from the future. For reasons unknown, they did not remove the fire escape!
Clever thieves. Interesting that it was slated to go and also did not go.
Moot at this point with your change in environs – but still.
