This happened to me almost 20 years ago on my new job at SS15 industrial zone. I was a programmer in a well known software house back then and on my first day, I decided to work late to study our in house development but no later then 10.30pm cause i need to walk quite a distant to catch a late night bus nearby SJMC to return to KL. Sharp at 5.30pm, i was surprised to see all my colleagues left and none of them is working late which is pretty abnormal to me or the industry. I grabbed one of my colleagues who is about to leave, asking her about the working culture here, normally programmers in the 90s do spend average of 10 to 12 hours per-day in coding. She just told me good luck and quickly walk to check out.
That night was quiet, with some light emitted from the running desktop. i spend some few good hours looking at codes, so focus i lost my self in the codes. then suddenly i can hear the photocopier start printing or photocopying something from the distant corridor which leading to toilet. It was weird at first, knowing everyone from the dev team has left for the day but that didn't make me suspect anything unusual thinking maybe staff from other department could be working late too thus printing something.
After a while the Guard knock on our glass door, informing me when am i leaving cause i am the last person in the office. After dealing with the guard, i continue spending good few minutes finalizing the codes i study that day. Before leaving the office i decided to take a good shit and puff first, cause i always scare of sudden bowel movement when taking bus or waiting at the bus station, LOL. while walking slowly toward the corridor to the toilet, i can see the photocopying machine is still running emitting bright light. without giving much thoughts, i just proceed into toilet, taking a good solid long dump and a good stick of Dunhill. Suddenly cross my mind, hey, those photocopying machine ain't tied to the network! it is a standalone machine! i clean up, take my last long puff and flush it down with the fresh brownies, rush out to check the photocopier machine, too my surprise, it is still photocopying something and its getting pretty annoying! i took out the stack of printed paper from the tray and when i flip the paper i see nothing but a black and white like sketches of a person face! thought it could be a joke, i pull up the photocopier lid and found nothing on the glass!! not a single paper on the glass! and what pisses me most is that the machine stop photocopying after i slam the lid down! i got freak out not knowing where to run to! back to the cubicle area which is dark and all of the sudden very damn creepy? or run back to the peaceful toilet where i just came out from? i couldn't think, i just wanna get to my dept entrance door, run a few dark corners to reach the main entrance and proceed to guard house BUT NO! my fucking legs brought me back to the toilet in the same toilet cubicle which smell horrifying (my brownies + Dunhill). Nervous not knowing what to do, i wanna scream to get help, but i am worry my scream will get those whatever thing more piss, i nearly got crazy, everything is turning 365 degree nonstop until i saw the window just right above toilet bowl and slightly opened! without thinking much i crawl out from the window and found my self behind the factory; i ran as fast as i can to the guard house. From far, i can see the guard is looking at me and somehow i knew he knew something. seems like this is not his first time.
When i reach the guard house, the guard didn't ask me anything! He just asked me to go home now and i can pick up my things tomorrow morning. He lent me some money for the bus ride. the walk to SJMC is like never ending, some more with my jelly legs. The next day morning, my colleagues asked me did i work OT yesterday, and it seems like everyone is asking me this question very anxiously. I just said yes without telling them what i experience yesterday evening. However, i told my next cubicle colleague, her look changed and told me that's why the dev team in this company don't work passed 5.30pm, max will be just 7pm.
After working there for a few months, suddenly one day our management told us to pack up and move to a new office at TPM, i mean seriously suddenly in a short notice like 48 hours kind of notice.
