Out of work at work!

Strange and eerie. Some people would normally jump for joy when they report for work and find that they can't because of some "operational glitch." I do not. I hate it in fact because I realize how wasted my time is as I can not leave the workplace for some other ditty.

In 1998, at around 9pm while rushing work on a CETRA trade show site with a great lady, Marie Orara, we were alerted by the smell of burning cables. The Citibank Center in Makati is burning! Obviously, we survived that one. ;) However, for the next three days, we have to move to a nearby business center to ensure our operations will be unhampered. The evening of the fire, I was thinking not about our safety but how shall we finish the work!

Today, I am working like mad at my work station when our carpentry people arrived carrying with them shelves that will be mounted on the four walls of our cabin! I was hoping for a compromise like they work on one side of the room while I work at my side but they eventually took over the room and I was unceremoniously booted out. For almost four hours now, I am walking aimlessly around the hospital complex hoping they'll finish their work so that I can continue mine. :( Meandering... against the wishes of my heart. ;)
