"..Oops I did it again, I played with your heart, got lost in the gameeee..Oh baby, baby.." Britney Spears chipmunk voice jolted Sean out of his concentration.
He looked up from his computer screen and saw his phone doing a lively jiggling dance on the table. Peeved, he answered the phone tersely, "Ya..ya..Tonight I'm not coming home for dinner.. must OT again!!" Grumblings from the other side of the phone before he hung up.
It’s another one of those death march projects where the stupid salesman had overpromised to the client without checking with the engineers. Ah well, if only the boss recognizes Sean's hard work in trying to meet the crazy requirements of the project instead of happily exploiting him for work.
Sean was in a foul mood and decided to take a break. Looking around to ensure that nobody was around, he then blasted Britney Spears' "Opps, I did it again" song on speakers. With nobody around, he did the entire dance routine to the song just like the song video clip. He even hiked up his shirt to show off his tummy. Which is identical to that of a celebrity. Unfortunately, the celebrity is Jack Black.
Suddenly, asSean was belting out, "Yeah, yeah, yeah!" with full enthusiasm, he heard the door creak. In that very moment, he was suddenly very aware that he was no longer alone. Immediately stopped the music. Then THUMP! Sean's hair (especially on his exposed tummy) stood at an end. The room became considerably colder.
Yet nobody was seen. With his heart pounding against his rib cage, he managed to croak, "Anybody there??" Deathly silence greeted him. "Gulp. Ok, I must be imagining things," Sean tried to reassure himself as he made his way back to his seat to battle the other scary thing in the room - his list of defects. Just as he sat down, the room was plunged into darkness.
This is like a scene from the horror movie he had just watched. The only difference is that Sean really needed to pee. He had been holding it for far too long as he wanted to fix a defect first. He crossed his legs to hold it a little longer.
Alone, freezing and a bursting bladder, he muttered under his breath on his predicament. Well, at least his mind was still functioning practically and he whipped out his mobile near him to get some sort of light and fumbled to the main entrance of his room.
As he ventured nearer, he saw a shadowy figure at the entrance. YAY! Sean was overjoyed as he thought it was his colleague. But when he reached the door, he realised it was just well.. a shadow of the looming trees nearby. Sigh pushed the door but damn it, it’s stuck! Sighhhhh.. he really did wanna peee… gottta hooolld it just a little longer..
