My office is in a large shopping centre. To give you an idea of size, the centre has 5 shoe stores. In fact, it is 1 km long which makes it a good 2 km round walk and at a brisk pace, takes about good 15 minutes. Sort of… If you don’t stop at the shoe stores.
Today, there was a gas leak in the air condition which made people ill. At around 3 pm the shopping centre was declared a state of emergency, was taken over by the fire department and was evacuated, including my office. Later in the afternoon, we were advised that it would not re-open that day. So I went home.
I managed to shut down the server, grab my backups and handbag and we went to the evacuation assembly area for my zone. The assembly area was not to my liking so I re-assembled at the restaurant across the road. It must have been a good idea because a number of people followed suit. Whatever discomfort came from leaving my office was soon put to right by the service at the restaurant.
I picked up my husband at the airport later in the evening. He’s home now for a while. I think he has one more trip to the Philippines, but not Noumea anymore.
Hi there,
I wanted to thank you for your comment via the Blog Train.
You have a wonderful talent for digital scrapbooking! At the risk of sounding “less than informed,” I’ve never seen that before! I’ve wanted to do traditional scrapbooking, but just don’t have the time or resources, frankly.
Come back and visit anytime! Have a great day (eh, or night)
Glad everybody was okay at work…that’s scary!
Yikes, a gas leak is nothing to play around with. Glad the evacuation went smoothly and everyone is ok.
Hello. I just came upon your link via the Blog train. Very cute blog. Lucky you to have a day off! Also, I like your clock.
Wow! Glad you’re safe and happy that you got the day off! I hope it was with pay!
Found you via the Blog Train… I am sooooo behind on my (old fashion) scrapbooking, you inspire me to go digital! This is great!
Cheers!
Jamie
