今天整天都在下雨,尤其到了傍晚,雨势越来越大。
1820hrs,雷电交加。
带了那群不停说“怕”的小瓜到礼堂,然后扛书回办公室。
打开门,校长冲了过来,叫我去帮忙。
跑到办公室另一端,顿时呆住。
屋顶部分坍塌,水不断冲下来。
下面的办公桌、文件、电脑、作业本子全湿了。
整间办公室开始积水。
立刻脱下高跟鞋
和其他同事把可以搬走的都移开,
把所有放在地上的搬走,
找所有垃圾桶来装不断流下来的水,
拿所有拖把尝试把水扫出办公室,
然后帮那些不幸的同事收拾残局。
不知道到底发生了什么事。
听说好像是顶端水管破裂。
听说好像是某处被雷击中。
听说好像是大雨的缘故。
真是份特别的教师节礼物,
毕生难忘。

I'm beat, but I'm going to do this for you, Parv.
Something horrible happened today.
It was raining elephants, with thunder and lightning. I brought my girls to the hall for flag-lowering at about 6.20pm, and went back to the office.
I was carrying piles of books into the office when I saw Mrs B. running towards me and yelling for help. I rushed over to where Cindy's workstation is, and the entire place was flooded.
Can you imagine? Water was gushing out from the roof!
All was wet. Papers, books, laptops and everything.
We started moving all we can save to the other dryer end, and then attempted to get the water out to the corridor. We rolled up our pants, ran around barefooted, each with a broom or mop.
Many were drenched while trying to save the day.
Cindy was real upset. It happened during her observation.
Ironically, it's supposed to be OUR day.
