Typhoon closes in
Tuesday, 2 September 2003 21:04 pm
Well today the tropical cyclone warning signal went up to no. 3, then to 8, and just earlier this evening to no. 9. So after a short morning session in the office I was on my way back home around 1.30 pm.
Usually people would have been happy with an afternoon off, back at home, nothing to do, watch TV, rent some DVDs, basically enjoy a weekend feeling.
However - enter the Internet Age: You can just continue working from home thanks to email, broadband internet, and web based solutions.
So my afternoon was spend with the usual email and odd phone call.
It’s now evening time 9 pm and this storm is getting very strong indeed. The signal went up to number 9 about an hour ago and I can surely notice this. Winds are now hurling around the building and howling noises come from all windows and the aircons. It’s so loud that we have to put up the TV volume quite loud to hear the news announcements.
That’s all for now - let’s hope I won’t be gone with the wind
