I don't work in an office, but at my work, they have a buddy system. Like you, I have been left alone, only during a drill however.
School is something entirely different. In high school, the bell would go and I'd have no idea. I remember a fire started in the science lab and I was in the bathroom. I walked back to my classroom(which was the lab) saw the fire and FREAKED. Obviously, I got out of there, and looked like an idiot when I finally came out. My principal didn't even come over to me to make sure I was okay, the firemen did but not her. Next morning, my teacher of the deaf, my cousin(who was a paramedic there), my parents and I had a very long meeting with her about how stupid her actions were. They put lights in the bathrooms now.
The best place in my high school if you wanted to know if there was a fire was the woodshop. The strobe was pretty strong and the machines would cut off so you knew.
My college is a different story. We had a drill last week, I noticed something flashing from my left, looked over and saw the strobe flashing. Crappy thing but it got my attention.
As for Canuckian_Chick, have you talked to CHS? I'm not sure what they have avaible as of now though.
