All around me, the deluge
May. 14th, 2004 11:32 amHi everyone.
I know it's been a while since I updated, so here's the explanation.
Yesterday morning, I got a call from my boss while on the T to work, asking me to bring my cell phone and charger to work. I told him my charger was at home, and he said we'd probably need cell phones all day because the phone system was out. Now, he hadn't been to the office yet, so he didn't know why they were out.
When I got there, I found the other admin on her cell phone outside the building. Odd. I went up to the office, and a huge mess greeted me. Everything was wet, and smelled like Morgan's car when the radiator was leaking. Apparently, a pipe had burst in the equipment closet in our office and soaked the entire floor of the office with 2" of water. It was a mess. We spent the entire day in damage control. I had a brief moment of time when I had a working computer yesterday, but then one of the circuits went on us again, and my computer switched off in the middle of my writing an LJ entry! Anyway, we seem to be up and running now. It's a huge mess still, though. We got rid of most of the trash at least, and our equipment is hooked up again.
Oy vey. It was a trip, I tell ya. Gave me something to think about and keep myself busy, which was good. I have a date tonight with the lovely Jason, which will also be good. The whole good-mood-and-hopeful-outlook-on-life thing is still a wee bit tenuous, but with any luck it will hold out and strengthen with time. Good.
Ok, better get working now! Love ya!
