As I walked into the office, I saw Mr. T (our Development Manager) put a file on Sara’s desk. S.Z. was smiling, looking at his LCD screen and typing something. Why wouldn’t he smile…? After all, he is getting married next year.
After putting the file on Sara’s table, Mr. T turned around, smiled, said Hi to me and walked out of the room. I said Hi to S.Z. and went to my seat. S.Z. nodded and continued his work.
After a few minutes, Sara walked-in with a cup of Tea in her hand and said Hi to everyone in the room. She turned on the computer and then started checking her emails. After about 10 minutes, she picked up the file, and opened it.
After a few seconds, she said, “Oh… Wow!” She stood up with the file in her hand and walked out of the room at a very fast speed while still looking at the paper in the file.
Within 2 to 3 seconds, we all were startled by Sara’s loud scream and then we heard as though something fell.
Before we could even get up, we heard a guy’s really loud scream and then another noise as though something big fell.
S.Z. and I walked out to see what really happened. What we saw totally astonished us.
Sara was lying on the floor face-up. Her eyes were wide open as well as her mouth and she was staring at the ceiling (she was in the state of shock). She was barely blinking her eyes. A few steps away from her, we saw our soft-spoken e-marketer I.D. in somewhat the same position.
Ms. Ann R. from HR department approached Sara and helped her get up. However, Sara’s mouth and eyes were still wide open and it seemed like as though she was in comma and unable to think.
S.Z. and W.Q. (our tall and skinny ex-marketing expert) helped I.D. get up.
Ms. Ann helped Sara sit on the chair in the hallway. Sara was looking straight now. Her hair looked messy and fluffy, more like what we see in cartoons and comedy movies when a bomb explodes in someone’s hands and their hair gets all fluffy and messy.
S.Z. looked at her and said, “She looks unconscious with her eyes open. What should we do?”
W.Q. replied, “I think we should give her electric shock, it may help”.
We all looked at W.Q. at the same time… It was not a good idea.
S.Z. said, “We don’t want to crack her bones”.
Anyway…After Ms. Ann’s consistent efforts, Sara became normal within half an hour and told us her story.
To make the story short…Here is what happened.
There was a logo design concept in the file and it was created just as Sara wanted. She was very happy to see it. After she walked out of the room while still looking at the logo design concept, she didn’t notice that the floor was just mopped and there was a warning sign on the floor: Wet Floor – Walk Carefully!
She walked fast, didn’t notice that the floor was wet and… Alas... she fell in the hallway.
Luckily, the poor soul didn’t break her elbow or any bones.
“Hey… What about I.D.? How did he slip?” You may wonder and ask.
We asked I.D. about it and…
Well… That’s another story that I will share with you all later.
