1st world problems

[charisstoma]

I work in a school. The district is having problems with its internet. People are panicking because they have been moving us into using technology in a large way.

*grins*
No internet. No problem.

And then something happened last night in our 3 1/2 floor building.There are classrooms in the basement. There's a district department in the basement.
The basement is flooded, I'm told. Haven't gone to check but I believe the voices of the doomed.

This area should be somewhere close to 100 degrees F today. Chillers work with water. Water is requiredc for the Fire sprinkler system. Toilets work with water, sinks too. We've about 1000 people in this building and the water is turned off.

Pray for us.

Not good!

Hope you survive okay.

Work had no water night before last until about 12 the next day.
Only about 14 of us in the building overnight but there was NO COFFEE ;)
and no fresh food depts allowed to open all until the water was back on *snicker*

Well that sucks hard core.

We had the water cut off to our building at the tail end of winter. We were without water to our building for a week. No sinks and NO TOILETS. The building owner, after 4 days worth of bitching by the tenants, got us a porta-potty. Have you ever had the pleasure of using a porta-potty in -10C weather? I don't recommend it.

Last week I was living without power or gas (not my fault). I don't know how I'd have survived without water. Ye gods! I hope they fix that very, very soon.
