My yesterday was annoying the crap out of my yesterday, and today annoyed the crap out of my today...and it looks to continue for the rest of the week.
Here's what happened (it's been a funny kind of annoying): we arrived at work Monday morning to water POURING down the walls by the windows and into the cubicles on that side. I'm on the windows. I guess the campus police found it around 5 am, and the plumbers got there at 6. A pipe burst on the fourth floor...they had an inch of water up there I guess.
So my two cow orkers who always get there early, were trying to save our computers, our printers, and our personal items, and IT came up and grabbed everything...but a lot of it was already full of water: monitors, towers, printers...one guy, who is on vacation this week, had a giant rack of paperwork that was soaked.
So us window cube dwellars have been sent to different departments to try to get work done, which has been pretty cool (I'm in registration, and it's interesting to watch their processes because at my old job you were among all the other student service departments) but then you find you can't get logged in, get that fixed, can't connect to our college wide system, get that fixed, use another computer to try to run an important process that can only be run from a select few systems, have to get all the stuff fixed for it to work.
So it's kind of annoying, but a little exciting. At the very least, I got a few jokes in. I'm still kind of quiet most of the time, but I got big laughs when I told my cow orkers that I thought I heard they were sending us some FEMA cubicles, and then later when I broke into "Rainy Days and Mondays..."
So we're out of our offices all week while they tear it down, dry it out, replaster, etc.
But I have a deadline Friday, and this isn't making getting there any easier!!!!!
