...to hold their trousers up.
After we had busted our humps, scrubbing and waxing a 5-tiered classroom, last night, we got a phone call at about 4:15 AM, telling us to get up to north-central campus, for an emergency flood clean-up.
Somebody isn't going to have enough bum left to hold up a pair of trousers, when they get done chewing.
Some real rocket scientist, up at Potter Engineering Center, had left a faucet running in a lab sink, back in the laser laboratory. Problem was, there was some junk in the sink and it ended up covering the drain.
Had I mentioned the laser lab is on the 3rd floor? And there were offices, down in the basement, with ceilings that had collapsed from all the water?
I don't believe I have ever seen so much water. We had an army of wet vacs in there, trying to clean up the mess. A couple guys were taking flood control vacs around to vacuum the water out of our wet vacs, so we wouldn't have to stop working to find a drain.
Seeing computers sitting in water was almost enough to make me shed a tear. I hate to think of all the data that was lost on those systems.
I don't know who was responsible for that one, but I would love to be a fly on the wall when they call that person in on the carpet. Wow!
