last time, before the 9-11 thing, where fire drills were not taken seriously at all, and we were at the 9th floor, the usual MO for us guys would be "we have evacuated to the kopitiam"

Razz

but now, everyone is supposed to take things very seriously.. and we do...

remember the tremors? it was fun when we evacuated the building without being prompted... in an orderly manner too! Laughing

my friend in the 9th floor felt the tremors, stuck his head out of his room and shouted at his staff, "earthquake!! run for it!!" and his whole section took off..

on the way down, he called my mobile and told me to run for it too.. i told just announced to the office "tremors!! 9th floor evacuating!!" and we all took off Laughing

thing is, the senior management didn't want anyone to evacuate but no one cared and went off anyway

tare SG

i've made a mistake in my efiling... forgot to attach the arguments, and now it's past the deadline... i'm doomed Crying or Very sad

the Bear SG

thought can change one? Neutral

elindra SG

The thing about senior management is that they want you to evacuate immediately during a fire drill and not do anything when a potential crisis is at hand Laughing

tare SG

i asked my little boss, he said cannot file a correction to tat, Registry won't accept it de... i'm dead, i'm dead, i'm dead Crying or Very sad

but i think my lady boss wanna "argue" that we did sent the attachment, blame it on IT...

while my little boss is now in his room, cursing and swearing [not loudly lah] Neutral

in year 1997 or 1998 i think..

my ex-company was situated at the ground floor at Jalan Pemimpin, occupiedk the entire warehouse (with super high ceiling) and make the whole place so cozy (music record company).. can smoke openly somemore...

one fine afternoon, while happily chatting with my ad production guy at my cubicle, pple calling out "FIRE FIRE"....

we supposed to have a fire drill a week beforehand but din happened...so we bor-chap and continue to work (as if nothing is happening)..

my IT lady was frantically backing up server...and my handsome big boss was calling out to us to leave our workplace...

we went "alamak, why so kan-cheong, small matter"..

suddenly we heard our 2nd boss yelling..."haa!!!!!!" ...
Apparently, a black charred body just fell from 2nd floor right and landed just outside his fullview (ceiling to floor) glass panel window, outside the bldg.

I looked out of my cubicle...oh gosh, the entire 2nd floor in full blast fire, and we hardly notice anything.. we ran out...then we realised how serious is the fire...

outside, the road was jammed, the 4 fire engines cannot get in, our building barrier (for the fire engine) jammed and cannot lift up, must break it..
the fire hydrant not properly fixed, water leaking everywhere..

the police cars blocked the way, ...ambulances came... reporters came...

everything in a mess...

then people still slowly strolled out ... many complained that they dun even know the fire was so out of controlled...

....ironic huh...

we checked each other what we brought out..

1. me brought my personal bag and hp (and still chatting on ph with MTV),
my working file and my CD player with advanced CD samplers.

2. big boss brought his important documents.

3. my colleagues brought files out...and hp.

4.. my 2nd boss ran out after seeing the dead body, armed with his Armanis sweater in his hands... Rolling Eyes

my regional office called my hp and said "ooi, woman, why your office answer the office phone hah? on strike hah????".

I Replied "errh....our office is now on fire.. we are all stucked oustide, looking at our building being burnt only. I dun think anyone wants to stay behind to answer phone calls lor, muahhhahahahaaaa". Then the news spread, every region office pple called my phone to chat with me...

it took 2 hours for them to put out the fire and organise everything....
the we were allowed back to our office (walking pass the 2 covered bodies)..

i heard that the 2 dead person was burnt at the spot above me..
one died instant, the other jumped. . Shocked

the ceiling above me dripped BLACK WATER...
I had to use newspapers to cover my cabi and files and an umbrella right over my head to shelter myself for the next 1 week..

after a few months, my boss decide that we MOVED OUT...I am so glad..
Too many haunting accidents liao..

It's a memorable day... Mr. Green

I think best is my 1st job at this Ethanol Plant on Jurong Island Laughing
1st week at work I got evacuated twice and told to go home coz of gas leakage

LOTUSfairy SG

1. before the company moved in, one the bricked walls, just fell...and nearly killed one of the worker.

2. someone died there before.

3. there is a lady ghost in my boss office (my colleague got 3rd eye)..
and I always work late or sunday work alone, and nite falls, it's pitch dark after switching off the lights (going home time)...

When I am alone at the huge warehouse office), I heard sounds (thing drop), music (not from radio) and faint singing voices..and sometimes a lady voice... and i see shadows ...been there for a while ..and i wasnt afraid anymore...
just share the joys with her lor... got company at least.. not so boring on a beautiful sunday, alone at office working still ...like a 24/7 job...

the Bear SG

if there is a fire at my office, i wager you'd see a lot of people chucking stuff into the fire Laughing

i'd save my iPod and my bag.. the rest can burn for all i care..

elindra SG

Wow your boss will never be lonely in his office Laughing

bluejuice SG

I'll just take my bag and hp..

not bothered about the rest.

i had this experience. when i was a system administrator in this computer system setup, the computer room was protected by halon gas. i used to wonder if the halon gas ever work. one fine day, it just exploded and release all the gases. it was fun to watch with the whole room covered by white gas. I ran into the room to see if anyone was in the computer room. later someone to me that the gas was poisonous. guess i was naive.

this "gas release show" cost my company $50,000 to recharge and arm it again Laughing

LOTUSfairy SG

my handsome eligible boss is not interested....in fact, errh...he is not interested in ladies...

maybe the lady ghost also give up siah.. Laughing

bluejuice SG

why need to be protected by halon gas?

What does that do?

the Bear SG

there was almost a fire in the server room when i was a sys-ad too..

the server room airconditioner broke down and within 5 minutes, the place went from 12 degrees to 50 degrees and rising Laughing

i just called up the FM and gave them hell about the airconditioning.. because there were backup airconditioners which didn't work at all...

i think another few minutes, the server room would blow up

the Bear SG

most companies have this philosophy of "save the equipment.. the hell with the people" Laughing

halon puts out the fire immediately because it displaces oxygen...
