So I got up at 8am, all set to settle in and watch what I was sure would be an exciting Quals for Spa.  As I'm brushing my teeth, my cellphone rings.  It's the Regional Manager, saying that I need to get to the Duck U Bookstore as soon as I can... seems something happened involving some water, a leak of some sort, and I needed to let people into the store.  This has occurred in the past, no big deal... though it hasn't happened since they fixed that pipe. 

Shrugging, I threw on some clothes and drove into Duck U., cursing my luck.  After all, today was my first day off in two weeks.  I get there, walk into the building the Bookstore is located in... and THIS is what I see:

Ah.  I'm just thinking that this isn't a good thing.  But if we've got an inch of water in the hallway, what do we have in... the... store?

SUNUVABEECHMARTIN!!!

It might be hard to tell, but there's about a half-inch of water covering everything, up to the "high water mark."  Past that, it's just seep into the carpet.  We only lost about six or eight textbooks, but a metric farkton of sweatpants were ruined too. 

Unfortunately, it took the disaster recovery team all frickin' day to set up six fans and two big dehumidifiers.  I didn't leave until 545pm, and I've gotta be back at 8am on Sunday.

So much for my weekend off.  Now I'm looking at working three weeks straight.  On the plus side, I might get to watch the Quals session sooner or later.

Kill me now.
