Blackout

Yesterday got to be the hottest day in the office. Apparently there was a total blackout throughout KL even in the southern region Johor. You would have thought it is great to have a blackout when u were in office working your butt off. Piggy manages to observe certain scenarios in the office during the blackout.

1.Your worst nightmare come true
spreadsheet, while trying to do some data entry and yohoo-ing for the latest gossip at the same time, not to mention replying several important emails when suddenly your air con goes off and you staring at a blank screen. It’s worse than the dog eating your home work, worse than going home past curfew time and found out your dad waiting at the door and worse than sitting in the cinema next to a guy who keep farting…….ok you get my drift…………all the lost work….MY GOD……..does heaven saves a copy?

2.Speculations on the blackout
Some say it’s the tsunami, you know, before a tsunami, water gets drag into the sea…therefore our dam don’t have enough water to run the turbine and generate enough electricity (dumb). Some say ‘who didn’t pay electric bill?’ (dumber). Some say must be terrorist hijacking the main TNB station (dumbest -à what for? to electrocute themselves? ) Other were just busy checking internet and sms-ing to see the extent of blackout (now that’s smart)

3.No water
Sad to say yes, even the water ran out. Until now piggy wouldn’t have know our water facilities depend on electricity availability. Piggy thought they are not supposed to go together except in water heaters. And our tap water doesn’t even have hot cold options. Are we supposed to lick our plates and cups? What is this? Survivor 6? Don’t even talk about toilet…… although some one did suggest doing it in the gardens, we have plenty of bushes.

4. Hot HOT HOT
A few hundred people in a crowded room with no air-cond? Its like putting a chicken in a slow cooker. Piggy had been eyeing Day’s singlet enviously. If she could fit in, it would be off Day’s back and onto poor piggy, Too bad piggy is twice Day’s size..sigh~~~
Worse is piggy got like about 3 phone calls and 10 assorted messages and sms asking am I hot? Some come all the way from Ipoh and Genting. What? No work ah ? Piggy had decided to disown all of them soon.

4.Broadway entertainment
With all the heats that’d been going on, guess some got their brains fried. Day and Gorgeous S starts doing broadway of Annie meets Sound of Music doing Anger Management. Cool rite? Ya well piggy and piggy friend are dancers….In the middle of it, Skinny L pops a Sprite and we all drink to it.

5.Relive you worst nightmare
YES NOTHING CAN BE WORSE. They lure you into a sense of security. Lights were up, printers working, shredder working, server room humming even the coffee machine working. You restart PC, redo your excel spreadsheet ( the one you forgot to save), login everything, check back email, pick up your conversation and JUST WHEN you finish updating the lost data, POOH….. second round blackout……..yes…..now it feels worse than you found your fly is unzip in front of a leng chai, worse than finding you got RM9.99 when u have to pay RM10.00, WORST THAN HAVING A PIMPLE ON YOUR WEDDING DAY……!!!
(makes you want to knock you head on the wall, or worse throw the PC out the window)
This nightmare is relive 3 times before piggy call it quits…..give up AH ( how many times you want me to type the same sentence wo…)

6.Why AMAR is still wearing his jacket….
Yeah that’s a sad thing…..why ar? Why ar? WHY!!!!!!!!!!
Its so damn HOT and piggy was hoping he is taking of his jacket and he would have sweated enough to soak through his shirt and piggy can catch a glimpse of his biceps and 6 pack. That is soooo sad…..is he cold blooded? One of these days………

7.The PC is the 1st functional thing
YES, the company got their priority straight. The 1st thing to recover is the PC. Never mind the endless promise of, ‘we wont treat workers like machine’, or ‘ we want workers to have quality life’ bla bla bla……proven it is all crap, everything is down, but you can still switch on your PC. Drive you nuts right….i wonder where they got electricity to power all the pcs when the printer wont even work?

8.Birthday planning
In the midst of the blackout chaos piggy and friends still manage to plan something for up and coming birthday boss. Now that’s what I call opportunist. When GOD give u lemons you make lemonade…Sad to say, they reject piggy’s idea of hiring a gigolo to hide inside a birthday cake………really party poopers

9.Early going back
Yeah….no comment on that, piggy went back early regardless got electricity or not.

10.Everything will be alright when its time to go home
Murphy Law 11. Everything resume order around when its time to go home ( around 5.15pm) …. just in time for piggy to go home. HQ was not so lucky, heard they ask people to stay back….sadist all of the management team. Why don’t they resume it earlier or later but have be right on time? Maybe TNB people also don’t want to stay back……want to catch 9.00pm Chinese movie ma…..
