Wrap-up.

[inwaterwrit]

I fell asleep about an hour after that last post. There's only so much the human mind can take... and it was pretty boring having nothing to do but lie on a shelf, covered with a box.

I woke at about 1am, to the sound of the door opening, and voices...

"Peeeeuuuu! Was a massacre in here... good thing we noticed the bloody hand on the door."
"Heh, weird how they all just dropped at midnight, yeah?"

Then I heard the dragging of bodies, and a sound like a fire extinguisher.

I managed a peek out, and almost screamed. 'More monsters?' I thought. I almost wept with relief when I realized they were hazmat suits. The cleanup crew was here.

Good old Fuji, never missing a beat... the Japanese are so efficient.

I came out from under my box and waved them down... "Helloo! Help me please?"

The hazmat guys were taken aback, and a little out of their element. They were the cleanup crew, not the rescue squad. They did bring me something from the vending machine while I waited for them to finish cleaning so I could climb down. It took several hours, so I dozed some more on my shelf. By the time I could come down, it was already getting light outside, and most of the rest of the outside was clean. I made my way to my desk, careful to keep out of the hazmats' way. There were about a billion voicemails from my mother. How she made it to my aunt's house, I don't know. When she came in for work, she brought me a change of clothes, and I showered in the gym downstairs. Now it's just another day at work... only much more empty... I wonder how man are dead, and how many are just still too afraid to come back?

I'm the only help desk person left (RIP Charles, Brian!)... somehow, I think this will affect my Fridays off. On the other hand, since my boss is dead, (RIP Al!) there's no one to tell me I have to come in. Thank God Mike was out recovering from his appendectomy, because being alone in his house saved him. Which means we've got one guy with network account privileges left, thank god. All the others died in the supply room with me.

Most of our server room guys made it... they used their combined strength to get a rack up against each door. I should have hid in there.

Now that I'm head of the help desk, I can't wait to make some changes! I know Brian and Al would be proud.

I'm so glad laurion and asdr83 made it safely, I hope zapf, valadil,eternalcow27 and laura47 did too.

I can't imagine how bleemoo could have. Rest peacefully. You, rigel, and witticaster will be missed.

Now for a hopefully short-feeling day at work, and then to John's! (Oh, yeah, somehow, he made it out of NYC safely.)

I really hope it can all go back to normal. I just hope Sheena is ok. Woohoo, this means I can actually use my first paycheck!
