The ceiling fell!
Poor Pauline who reached office at 8am to get a headstart couldn't access her work till after 11am!
Apparently, late last night on a Sunday, 10th Floor's server got heated or caught fire then the sprinkler rained down a LOT of water and caused a flash flood and the water seeped down to OUR ceiling! 3 chairs were soaked wet! 1 pc totally OUT. 2 keyboards and mice were out of order too. Books and papers went soft, trays became ponds!!
Being an insurance company, we quickly called our claims team to survey the site and he was taking photos and all. Upstairs neighbour's insurer came down to take photos. THe BUilding mgt also came down to take photos. In short, it was utter chaos!
To top it all, actions were swiftly undertaken by the management to clean and/or salvage the property in question. First, their own cleaner vacuumed and blow dryed the carpet, desk. whatever. Then they called in the special Water Damage Recovery company. It was super NOISY, Duper COLD! Even Mike was wearing his sweater!
Right now, the office is smelling very sweet. but the blower is still on! with the heavy showers from late morning just now, i got soaked wet knees and under so now im like FREEZING cold.
Manic Monday!!

oh yeah i forgot to write that i overheard two security guards talking in Malay.
Guard1: Who was on duty last night?
Guard2: Rajan (not his real name haha)
Guard1: He didnt see any alarm?
Guard2: Yeah he was in his shorts when he saw the red light. Then the system said its a false alarm.
Guard1: Lah... he shld've just gone to inspect it regardless
Guard2: That's why.. now that Lionness (d Bldg Mgr) is FURIOUS.
*end of conversation*
I feel so privileged to get this piece of info tt the rest didnt understand! HAHA
It scared me that one person's decision could affect so many others and involve thousands of dollars in damages.
I fear for that night guard's employment. I hope he'll be alright.
THe same happened to my office few weeks back. Didnt know the cause though. All I heard was it was raining indoor and all carpets were soaked. Luckily most office equipments were still in working condition.
Things that make you go hummmmmmmmmmmmmm........
Really?!?!?!? then is it claimable not?
Then did u guys have the blower thingy and moist absorber majigy going on also?
my neighbours said, "lucky it happened on a weekend" but my colleague said, "Aiyah! if today's fri good lor no need to work anymore!"
Errkk.. I don't know if they are claiming against insurance or bulding management... Not my concern really.
In fact, I didn't know it even happened as I was away at client's place on that Monday. Was only told by my colleague and then I realised where "that" smell came from.... of course, the moist carpet. Bluergh.
