Do you know what this phrase means? It is, according to Wikipedia, a fire safety technique taught to children, emergency services personnel and industrial workers as a component of health and safety training. Primarily, it is a method to extinguish a fire on a person’s clothes or hair without, or in addition to, the use of conventional fire-fighting equipment.
This technique whereby you’re presumably on fire and may lack any external source to put out the flames, forcing you to roll on the floor like a deranged person is a pretty decent analogy to what my year has been.
I don’t know about you, but 2011 has been the longest year of my life. I did not enjoy it.
Hope yours went better.
Happy new year.
