Automatic Lighting
Posted: Wed 18 April, 2007 | Author: Lyle | Filed under: Weirdness, Work-related |5 Comments »A while ago, I wrote about the lighting in our office, which has automatic sensors, meaning that the lights go off if no-one’s around. All very useful and energy-saving I’m sure. These lights are also in use in the toilets, which makes life more fun. There’s a delay of a couple of seconds once you’ve walked in, where you’re still in darkness before the lights go “Oh, bloody hell, there’s someone in here – best get to work”
What I have discovered, though, is that if you’re bored or in a silly mood, you can evade the sensors. Yes, it’s pitch-dark in there, but still, you can evade them. It’s all a bit “Mission: Impossible”, and involves sneaking along, wedged right up again the wall, so that you’re out of the sensor’s range.
What I have also discovered though, is that if you’ve done that, and then someone else walks in, they give you a very strange “What the hell are you doing?” look…
Of course, it might’ve also been a “How long have you been in here, for the lights to turn off again?!?” look, but I don’t know – and it would’ve ruined the punchline…
OMGROFLMAO.
Brilliant. I can picture it now. Have you also tried (as you say) seeing how long it takes the lights to go off if you’re in there? Like, say you were taking a really good dump, and were there for a while, wouldn’t it be weird for all the lights to suddenly go out?
Err… Anyhoo…
At the risk of being rude, by the sounds of your size I would have thought you would have found it hard to evade anything. 😮
On a seperate note, when are you going to update the home page ?? 2005 is 2 years ago now..
