"Woke up. It's 6:50 AM. Ran out of bed. Brushed teeth. Drank coffee. Wore suit and tie. Sprayed some cologne. Rushed to the building. Now it's exactly 7:00 AM, I'm on the elevator with two coworkers. 'It's so warm today, huh?', one of them complained. 'AC is broken', the other answered. The elevator sudden stopped and lights went off. 'Not just the AC', I joked. Then we started hearing shouting outside, then explosions and cars crashing. Door opened midway to a floor, revealing a doom scenario outside, with fire and destruction. 'Well, I guess world is ending today', 'Yeah, we need to warn Mr. Reese, the boss', both of them deadpanly said. I teared my tie and screamed 'GOOD MORNING MR REESE!!', to the surprise of everyone at the building. Then, we heard a loudspeaker outside talking multiple languages simultaneously: 'Ladies and gentleman, we're sorry for the inconvenience. A global apocalyptic ending event was scheduled for today, 7:05 AM by your Greenwich Time, but our intern inadvertently pressed the button ahead of time. As a consideration for human and corporate activities, especially our sponsor NoSafe Cloud Services, this global event is cancelled by now'. Ms. Ellen, boss wife and CTO, shown a frown expression, and everyone seems to be mourning now, as the silence as the silence became deafening. Eventually, phones started to ring, our customers are calling. 'NoSafe Cloud Services, how can we be of service?', I answered. 'I want to cancel my subscription', the customer said with a sad choked voice. 'OK, sir, I'll need info. What's your code?', I asked. 'I'm Mr. Reese. I'm cancelling my subscription and firing myself from the company. You're fired, too', the customer said, revealing themselves to be my own boss (and a client of NoSafe)."
