Sumatran tremors

everyone in the office felt the tremors. at first i thought the feeling i was experiencing was due to the blood pulsating through my body (that happens sometimes you know).

then i thought someone was shaking his legs too hard, causing everyone with connected desks to feel the vibrations too.

i looked around and saw the keys dangling at my desk drawers swaying slightly.

and then colleagues started milling around and murmuring to each other with slightly worried looks on their faces (as if the towers were about collapse any minute).

Sally came out from her office to tell everyone that they should go home earlier in case anything unwanted were to happen.

and all this while did you know what my beloved deskmate was doing? he was totally oblivious to the whole thing. while everyone was busy hoo-haa ing over the tremors, and there he was, busy laughing away layanning youtube with earphones in his ears. and he didn't even notice the whole commotion until i bopped him on the head with a pillow. lol. katun betul.
