Drama in the Office

There was a drama in the office today but I was not there to witness what actually happened although I was told I was the cause of it :(

Today, David Man and I went down to the 16th floor to find a CD [the delivery guy from the resort was supposed to send it to me. But he left it at the 16th floor and did not even bother to notify anyone about that. I don't even want to get started on why he failed to understand that the CD was supposed to be sent to the 23rd floor and NOT the 16th floor]. After locating it, I decided I needed a break and suggested that we go down to Coffee Bean for drinks. I forgot to bring my phone with me so David called Chriz to get her to bring my phone down for me and get the others to join us downstairs.

David and I ordered our drinks, sat down at a table and waited for the others to join us. We waited and waited. At one point, we saw Alan Tsing pushing a wheelchair into the lift and we were wondering what he was doing with the wheelchair. After a while, the whole gang [Alice, Chriz, Alan and YY] came out of the lift. They saw us and waved at us happily then walked off to the other side of the lobby.

David: "Wa, where are they going? We're here".

Me: "Hmmm... They must be going to Maybank to bank in their cheques. We got our claims today, finally..."

So we waited for them. After a long while, I decided I didn't want to wait any longer. I mean, how long does it take for 4 people to bank in their cheques? I asked David to call Chriz to check what they're doing. Alice answered Chriz' phone. Only then we found out that Chriz tripped over MY stack of leaflets [But actually, they're not mine. They're Evonne's. But Evonne's away for training today so I was helping her follow up on her projects] and fell and all of them were at the clinic with her. Why they were smiling and waving happily at David and I when they got out of the lift on their way to the clinic was a mystery because they should be very concerned about Chriz' injury. It was supposed to be a serious situation.

Anyway, David and I rushed to the clinic. While waiting for the lift, we realised we didn't know which floor the clinic's on. I asked the security guard and he told me it's on the 8th floor.

When we reached the 8th floor, the door opened and we were greeted by Alan, Alice, YY and Chriz [she was limping slightly]. They got into the lift and explained to us what happened:

My phone rang and Chriz got up on a hurry to answer it for me. She tripped over the stack of leaflets [I moved it near her desk before I went down to the 16th floor because she offered to help send it up to the resort for me. She was warning me not to kick the leaflets towards her. Chriz:"You might sprain your leg or break your toenail". Then after I managed to kick it near her desk, beside her chair, she shouted: "Told you I'd send it for you but that does not mean you can kick the leaflets here!!!] and flew across the cubicle, landed facedown near James' wastebasket. The damage ~ scrapped skin off the left knee, cut lip and broken fingernail. She blacked out twice. Alan rushed to get her the wheelchair from the clinic but she refused to sit on it. They waited until she came around, gave her some warm water then took her to the clinic [that was why they took so long].

I feel really bad seeing Chriz like that. I know she must be in a lot of pain. She was kind enough to say "Don't feel bad. It's an accident". But I still do :(

Hopefully she'll recover real soon and the wound will heal fast.
