In the dark

It has been quite an interesting morning. When I went to work I saw the people who were working on the main electricity cables and realised that there might not be any electricity in the store. Sure enough the whole place was darker than dark when I arrived at the door. Deinse was already there waiting in her car. When she saw me, she got out and sat down on the bench.

"Is that a garbage bag?"

I looked at where she was pointing and there was something dark and plump lying near the door. I got up and went to check on it and imagine my surprise as I heard little snores coming from it. As my eyes adjusted to the dark, I could make out a pair of boots coming out of the heap. I backe away and told Denise that it was a guy. I was thinking it was some homeless guy just asleep on our doorstep.

As the rest of the guys arrived this guy work up and surprise surprise he was wearing a uniform. Margaret asked him who he was and he replied that he was the security guard!

He was the security guard, guarding the place because the electricity was off and the alarms were not working! And he was asleep on the job! hehehe.

Anyways when we finally went inside, we could not see a damn thing. Which meant we could not do any work. And I was not going to call the boss up. He should have realised that this was going on and called us to let us know so that we could have come later or not at all. We went out the other side and asked the workmen how long it would take and they replied that it might take a couple of hours. What did we do then? We sat down in the dark, on the couches and talked about nothihng for an hour till the department managers arrived. And then we talked for an hour more until she finally decided to call the big boss who told us to go home. He also said that we would be paid for the day. SO that was not quite bad. A day's pay for sitting in the dark telling ghost stories.
