I was happily eating my lunch with a colleague when I heard choppers circling above... frantic call from my colleague's mother about how someone had been shot dead literally across the street from us.
We go inside the building and contact security who had no idea about it and told us to fck off no lock down, even though it was in the news and the police had issued a lock down in that area. Then we heard a scream down the hallway, two persons with duffle bags had come inside the building pulling out draws in one of the offices and had dissapeared somewhere in the building. So management locked all the doors and told us to hide while they resolved the situation. Hide where? Amongst the cubicles?
A manager asked two of the buffest guys to come with to check inside the building... it was met by liberal rage and HR threats ie. fck off that's sexist and one buff ran into the cupboard to hide. Management contemplated whether the dean should be interrupted from his lecture to international students about the situation, then decided it was best to not, because we needed the money, even though he was giving a lecture in the same building and jeopardizing the lives of many. A manager declared she would check inside the building and reminded all her funeral flowers had to be white and not coloured. She told me to hide because I mattered but the others could get shot, so I reassured her if worse comes to worse I'd hide under my desk. She was satisfied with that and went off to check.
When she went off, we fled, ran out of the building and now I'm at home.
What a day.
Anything crazy like that happen to you guys? I guess shootings and muggings are common in Kenya. I've been at gun point a few times in Kenya but I didn't feel threatened. I think what's disturbing in these parts is the level of crazy. People lose it.
