Fire drill happened for the second time round today at work. The first time was just horrid. So, you hear a bell and there are some people from the canteen shouting fire fire. Then, you have people ‘walking’, some striding, onto the lawn. I swear if there was a real fire, they’d be burnt alive. Then, you have some people like me who gets spooked easily and switch off everything only to find out that none of the people at work has switched off anything at all.
So, we reached the lawn and you got all these people scattering into their so called places, chit chatting like there was nothing going on and the security leader guy was yelling on top of his lungs, without anything that would accompany his volume. So, that was the first time round. This time, it was more arranged and the head security could finally afford a loud speaker. He came to our group and called us ‘solid’ cos we were pretty much prepared by the time we got there while everyone was still scattering into their places. Well, our department is ‘disaster risk reduction’ after all. So, we were pretty much doing whatever possible to reduce risk of anything disastrous.
The big highlight of the day was me getting an official UN name tag AFTER THREE MONTHS, when my first contract is about to end. Nonetheless, I feel quite official and I don’t have to go to the security booth every morning to give my ID card in exchange with the ‘visitor’ card. Plus, having my ID card in and out of the pocket has caused me misplacing it for a couple of times. I don’t know if the head of security was flirting but I’d like to think he was being funny when he said ‘You should never say ‘horrible’, you should say sexy’ when I was whingeing about how horrible my security tag pic looks. Thanks, mr.. brought a smile to my face regardless of whatever contexts you’re trying to throw in terms there.
On another happy news, DoubleAwife called me to hook up for a dinner sometimes this week, which was a huge relief; I’ve been dying to catch up with DoubleA and his wife. So, this is gonna be good. Got my two websites done at work, well at least the frame or the structure of the mapping done. Things are looking good.
