May 7—I hadn’t wrote anything for yesterday, just spent a whole day on bed, I caught an awful cold. Today, I was doomed further unfavorable. Around 12 a m, while every body was on the phone content themselves with customers, another blackout occurred, in consequence with cutting out all the phone. It’s the third time in this morning. There is no further cheering voice anymore, we all started to bitch about blackout for effecting of lose business. Our manager asked me to call the superintendent for a fuse reconnecting. I followed his indication and called the superintendent, a man answered with sullen tone, on hearing me of room 3108, he replied to me rather testy. I didn’t even start mention what’s up with us, he said:” blackout again! ” “Yes, would you please help us with reconnecting the fuse” I politely requested. He answered, rather sharply:” you can’t ask us every time for your own problem, your company gotta do something. I realized he has been kept tiresome with reconnecting the fuse. “ all right, I’m sending a handyman to fix it, but you better solve your own problem soon” . 10 minutes later, the electricity back on.
In the noon, it’s lunch time. We switched off one of air-con for fear of blackout and ding our lunch through the microwave oven. The fourth blackout happened, and I was asked to call the superintendent again. I reluctantly dialed the phone then recognized it’s that sullen-toned man. Turns out he recognized me either, and said” please don’t tell me you blackout again!” . You can imagine how cold his words were. Finished the phone, I was so relieved. This time, it took 20 minutes to get the electricity back on.
We can’t withstand a string of blackout like this. The game’s not worth the candle!
