Tropical storm Ondoy is no longer in the country but its devastating effect on us is still being felt. I know a couple of people who are unable to work at this time since their houses are still flooded. Even our office building was flooded with waters reportedly filling the basement.

I don’t have a car so I don’t worry much on the basement not being accessible for parking. But the worse thing is the elevator is also not working. I don’t mind if my office is just on the second or third floor as it was before. But man, my office is now on the 7th floor!

When my office was on the 3rd floor, I don’t even use the elevator. I always prefer using the stairs as I consider it a form of exercise. That and brisk walking. I don’t go to the gym and I don’t have any special diet so I’m afraid that my sedentary lifestyle can take its toll on my health in the future. But to use the stairs to go to the 7th floor is a punishment!

Because of this, I also needed to limit the times that I have to go down or out of the office during breaks. We use to complain on how we can not rely on the elevator as it was taking forever to wait for it to come up or down which was very frustrating. But now I’ve come to miss the elevator dearly.
