Happy Halloween - Friday, October 31, 2008
This Friday was a harrowing, hauntingly horrifying Halloween. Well not really, but we did have a power outage at work around 3:10pm that crippled four out of our five buildings. Interestingly, I was in the middle of playing a haunted house Halloween game when it happened. All of a sudden, my monitor started fading, my computer sputtered to death, and the lights flickered out. For a quarter of a second I thought the haunt had come to life.
(Un)fortunately, there was no ETA on restoration of power, so not being able to do our work, most people soon left for the day. I shot hoops in the parking lot with a co-worker for an hour, after which I returned to my office to get my stuff. There were some emergency lights on but they were starting to get dim, and walking through a corridor that was completely dark felt kind of eerie in a horror film way. Like something was going to jump out and grab me and eat my face. Needless to say, I didn't stay in there long.
Well, that was a fun way to end the week on a Halloween note. I don't think that happens too often. =)
