office blackout adventure
our whole office building had a blackout this afternoon! and it just have to happen when our dear cy and ee were stuck on level 22 - doing of all things ... binding reports ... for a meeting that starts in 5 mins! (this is very normal la)
as usual the bosses were not happy coz they were extremely late and had no reports! the man was on the phone hurrying both to get the reports downstairs as they were waiting in the car while the boss was clearly not happy in the background...(the usual things start to happen in the car now)
so cy and ee were our heroines today (they haf to earn the employee of the month award if there's such a thing)
they ran down 22 flight of stairs in their heels ... cy was already having dizzy spells and half way thru ee just took them off - heck it la she says ... once at the lobby, cy just sprinted across the road (she reckons being hit by a beemer was a good thing ... ee - "becareful cy!"), cy stuffed the reports into bosses hands and (coughing) out of breath, waved them off ... go go go (had she managed to get those words out)
then, they sat by the sidewalk trying to regain their breath ... along comes another big boss - "cy, u're so unfit la" ... "no wonder her face look like a broom" were some known comments
with no mobile, no money, no credit cards, no identity ... our heroines, cy and ee went back to the office, packed up and walked 13 floors down again (22 + 13 floors = higher than the building la) coz our trusty national electricity service provider can't fix the problem within reasonable time. (this is also very normal la)
well.. where else to go but trusty old mr. bucks office :)
