Wonders never cease...

The following things have occurred since 9 AM:

  • Someone accidentally cut the wires to the one AC unit that sorta, kinda still works on occasion. Did I mention that it is a sticky 92 degrees in Dallas today?


  • The one remaining staff toilet blew up and flooded our board room. This, undoubtedly, is connected to the situation we had with the same toilet yesterday. Some one on staff went in to use it, flushed and…well, it never stopped flushing. We called the City three times, but they didn’t consider a perpetually flushing toilet to be a problem.

    At some point during the night, the toilet stopped flushing, but started again this morning when someone used and flushed it again. The City was notified just like the day before. But until the thing finally started to overflow down into the board room, we could get no one to pay attention to it – even the construction workers onsite.


The only good news in all of this is that we now have several fans in the board room to help dry the carpet that was flooded on by our only toilet. With the lack of AC in the building, the air in the office area is hot and stagnate – except in the board room where the fans are creating this wonderful, cool breeze.

Who knew that being in a room recently flooded by an overflowing toilet could ever be a good thing...

Sounds like the place is imploding, get out while you can.
