I Think I have superpowers! email this discussion to a friend?

I even think my officemates have superpowers.
I think long hours of mylotting gave me this power along with the cool air that breezed right out of the aircon.
After grilling myself infront of the PC for practically the entire day, whenever I touch someone, an officemate, something electrical suddenly zaps between us.
Definitely I can't be in love with a fellow girl. I am straight!It happens too when I touched doorknobs, or cassette players. It does hurt.

Have you encountered this?I touched my comb a while ago, and some static energy just possessed it and the paper that it came in contact with wouldn't budge! Wow! Super!

Its not superpower but its called static electricity as we have learned about this in our science class since grade school.

Static electricity refers to the buildup of electric charge on the surface of objects. The static charges remain on an object until they either bleed off to ground or are quickly neutralized by a discharge. Although charge exchange can happen whenever any two surfaces come into contact and separate, a static charge will only remain when at least one of the surfaces has a high resistance to electrical flow (an electrical insulator). The effects of static electricity are familiar to most people because we can see, feel and even hear the spark as the excess charge is neutralized when brought close to a large electrical conductor (for example a path to ground), or a region with an excess charge of the opposite polarity (positive or negative). The familiar phenomenon of a static 'shock' is caused by the neutralization of charge.

Dear Sophie, thanks for the info. I guess I should stop with my illusions now that I'd be flying anytime soon after discovering my electrical powers. lol

In that case, we all have superpowers. It's just static electricity. I got it alot when I was younger. Haven't had that happen to me in awhile. you're right, it does hurt sometimes.

Wow, that would be indeed nice.. the only advantage that I could think of for that electrical powers of your would be to minimize your electric bill.. You can simply hold the outlet of any appliance that you need and you need not plug it into any socket in the house. Then again, you did say long hours in front of the computer so, I guess you would eventually recharge..

I spend long hours in front of a phone.. I wonder what powers can I come across...? rolleyes


myLot reputation of 95/100. Theresaaiza (1560)   ranked 256 out of 6,601 in enjoy life  9 months ago

I wonder what powers can I come across...?

I'm afraid you'll just TELEport!lol


myLot reputation of 98/100. ratyz5 (2983)   ranked 807 out of 6,601 in enjoy life  9 months ago

That would be nice but, since I would have such powers for being too long in front of a telephone, I guess that power would only work if I am in front of a telephone.. (^_^")


myLot reputation of 95/100. Theresaaiza (1560)   ranked 256 out of 6,601 in enjoy life  9 months ago

You know what? I like you, because I can always count on you to respond to me. lol


myLot reputation of 98/100. ratyz5 (2983)   ranked 807 out of 6,601 in enjoy life  8 months ago

Hahaha~!

Thanks, I'll take that as a compliment but, I haven't been online lately.. being busy with the phone as it is part of this 'work' that I've been doing.. so sorry if I couldn't reply as quickly as I would want to.. (^_^")

Oh yeah, thanks for the best response~! thumbup


myLot reputation of 95/100. Theresaaiza (1560)   ranked 256 out of 6,601 in enjoy life  8 months ago

oh really, what's your job? is it ok to ask though?


myLot reputation of 98/100. ratyz5 (2983)   ranked 807 out of 6,601 in enjoy life  8 months ago

I help koreans practice their english communication skills, that basically best describes the 'work' I am doing as of now.. (^_^ )

Some of the students that I handle on the phone, I got to know from the english training camp that I participated before.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Theresaaiza (1560)   ranked 256 out of 6,601 in enjoy life  8 months ago

That's neat. No wonder you write so well too. So how did you land in that job. Apparently I would like to try!hehe


myLot reputation of 98/100. ratyz5 (2983)   ranked 807 out of 6,601 in enjoy life  8 months ago

Just read an ad and tried to submit my resume online. They contacted me after a week about an interview and after week again, I got told to report the next Monday..

There are really lots of this kind of work..


myLot reputation of 95/100. Theresaaiza (1560)   ranked 256 out of 6,601 in enjoy life  8 months ago

I haven't heard of it being here in our place already. I could probably try my luck in Cebu. But I dread the thought of being away from home. Cebu is such a big city and there's too much looking after to do.


myLot reputation of 98/100. ratyz5 (2983)   ranked 807 out of 6,601 in enjoy life  8 months ago

Well, everything is always venture, its kind'a like college too, either you have to go out there and enter an institution but this time, instead of grades, you have to do your best to earn money.. (^_^")


myLot reputation of 95/100. Theresaaiza (1560)   ranked 256 out of 6,601 in enjoy life  8 months ago

are you slightly disappointed again? confusedYour smiley says so!wink

Someday, I'll venture but not now, I am still focusing and reviewing for an upcoming exam which really needs a lot of focus and concentration. I'll certainly contact you when I have decided. Haha


myLot reputation of 98/100. ratyz5 (2983)   ranked 807 out of 6,601 in enjoy life  8 months ago

Slightly disappointed is just an example before.. this time, I didn't mean that to you but, I was thinking about myself, being slightly disappointed to where I am right now..

Oh well, hope things work out for you then (^_^ )

Lol, most of the times me and my officemates encounter same experiences. The feeling is so surreal that an electric current transmit from one to another. We dont really know why there is kind of mystery happening to us but we dont really care much to search why.. We just call each other Volta ( superhero with electric power ) and we end up laughing with each other.
Now, i know why. Thanks for the information above.:)


myLot reputation of 95/100. Theresaaiza (1560)   ranked 256 out of 6,601 in enjoy life  9 months ago

I know Volta. Whenever my "zaps" happen, I always remember her. KUYA kim atienza also explained this very well in Matanglawin.

It's got something to do static electricity really.:-)

If it is not static electricity and which I think it is, then it is definitely a superpower. Try to check out if you can lighten a bulb with that. If so, then you will have to change your name to something powerful... "ELECTRAIZA" would be my suggestion. Hahahaha, best to you and no offense. thumbup
