okay I'm a little edgy today because of what happened yesterday, 10 minutes before the time that we go home from work my manager said that the ceiling collapsed on the ground floor (i was on the 2nd) so we hurried out of the floor and used the stairs to get down and see what happened, it was horrifying .. although the ceiling didnt completly fall down meaning that the upper floors werent affected, the bad thing is that it fell on where most of the employees take in order to get to thier cars meaning that if it would have happened 10 minutes late then there would have been a lot more casualties.
of course my immidiate reaction is to call a friend of mine, she got out of the office two minutes before me and i was scared shitless that she would have been in the rumble ... had to call her three times before she answered me
***call***
Me: where are you? you gave me a heartattack
friend: Im downstairs .. why do you say that
Me: you werent asnwering your damn phone .. i thought something happened to you
Friend: no im not hurt, i was in the elevator when it happened
Me: did something happen to you
Friend: no the elevator got flooded but we are all good
Me: is someone hurt
Friend: just one person but the ambulence is already here
Me: thank god ... take care while driving okay
Friend: okay
****end call****
After that call, i was trembling while driving and when i got home i was still trembling so hard that i didnt eat lunch ... i know it's not that bad but the sight itself was damn scary, the funny thing was that the ceiling that collaped had just been maintained and after they were done with that ceiling they did the ceilings on my floor too so i'm a bit freaked
Still going to work today, expecting to find the building empty but what can i do, if it werent for the grades and money i would rather stay in bed today (or maybe a week)
work
