I had the hell of a time trying to get to work this morning. While the traffic going INTO the office complex wasn’t any worse than any other Tuesday, but hell started once I approached the company parking floor.

Okay, so it’s actually NOT that unusual for the parking to be completely full. But usually, that does not happen before 9:15 and usually NOT on a Tuesday this week.

The most surprising bit was that when I tried to get from one building to another (in hope to find a parking spot) in the very same office complex, it took me longer than it did to drive from home to the  office itself!

The reason for this morning madness? I found that out when I was walking pass the biggest auditorium on-site. Perhaps THOUSANDS of people were lining up for a free “Bab Bird Bird” concert ticket that the bank (whose HQ was where our office is located) is giving away for free for people who have a certain balance on the bank’s credit card.

The free giveaway was supposed to start at 9am, but apparently, I was told people started lining up at TWO am!

Okay… maybe it’s not comparable to the iPhone queues or anything, but I guess that does go to show how much star power that Bird still has after all these years…

PS. I ended up getting to my desk at around 9:50 am… but only one other person in my department was there before me. *phew*
