Blackout

This morning I arrived at the office at 7.15a.m. At 7.40p.m. there was a heavy downpour. I was glad I was not on the road at that time.

The workers working for the contractor to do our office renovation continued to hack the brickwall. Suddenly just before 9a.m. there was a blackout. I thought their hacking had affected the electricity supply. When I went downstairs, the shops also did not have electricity. I quickly called the electricity company to lodge in a complaint.

The UPS connected to my pc only lasted for fifteen minutes. I could still do some work while the emergency lights were still functioning for about 1.5 hours.

Since the sky was dark during the blackout, the workers had to stop work because they could hardly see anything.

The electricity supply came back around noontime. So much work but so little time left. I just do whatever I could get done and left at exactly 1p.m.
