Bad lithium experience

Thanks to some extreme foolhardiness involving lithium and a water bottle, my building was evacauted this afternoon. A small fleet of emergency vehicles pulled up (including a van labelled "special operations") and a number of firefighters wearing oxygen tanks and masks went in and out of the building. After being told that it would be "a while" before we'd be let back in, I decided to cut my losses and headed home, picking up DS1 en route. I wish I had been as clever as a couple of other people I saw, who had grabbed their laptops on their way out. At least I had my car keys. Lots of people had left purses, keys, backpacks, etc. in their offices and were unable to do much of anything.

I had fully intended to come home and try to get some more work done, but I ended up playing "baseball" with DS1. Ah well.

Hmm, here I thought lithium in one's drinking water tended to make people happy.... What exactly happened?

You know, anything that starts the way this post starts can't possibly be good.
