I should have stayed home

We have a waterfall (leak) in our breakroom about 20 ft away from me.  This happened last month, but now they don't know what's causing it and it won't stop.  Ceiling tiles are falling and they said the instillation is soaked and won't dry.  At least they shut the power off in there - you know water and electric isn't a good match.  AND the sound is making me have to pee every 5 mins.

AND the fans are still off, so it's still 88 degrees in my cube.  I'm in a tank top - It's FEBRUARY!  It's been a week since we put in the work order.  I'm already on my 2nd bottle of water.  I've been drinking 4-5 of them plus juice and I was still told on Saturday I was a bit dehydrated.  It's just too hot and dry to keep up!

Sorry - I just needed to whine a minute.

Re: I should have stayed home

  • so what are you doing if the electric is shut off? can you even work?
  • It's on a different power grid I guess... we still have power in the cubes.  Now they are worried about mold... so we're waiting to see if they will move us.

  • That is crazy. Hopefully they come to a resolution soon on what to do.

  • Oh no! Hope.they get it all fixed soon.

     

  • So they figured out leak, or it just stopped on it's own. 

    Now to bug boss about the heat...

  • I'm pretty sure your Dr would write you a note to let you stay home until the heat is fixed. 
  • OMG I'm going to KILL MY BOSS!!! I just looked up work orders and HE NEVER SUBMITTED ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought he did last Monday, I even asked him about it! I'm just waiting for him to get into work. I think I got to the angry pregnant stage. Meanwhile, I'm changing into capris and flip flops... BEACH PARTY IN MY CUBE!

  • I put it in myself, and when he comes over I'm going to ask him about it. 

    I commandeered 2 more fans... it's helping a little.

  • I would go home & when he asks why, tell him you can't work in those conditions. That's RIDICULOUS.

    So what happened?!

    (My apologies if this is in another post that I haven't gotten to yet.)
  • He acted dumb and like I never went into his office asking him to put in the request last Monday. Then said he doesn't think they will fix it and I should be happy I'm not freezing. I told him I was getting severely dehydrated with the heat and I think he got my point (he knows I'm pregnant)

    Later he came over trying to see if there was a way to turn the heater down, so we will see.

  • Heater is off, my vent is on - My cube is 79 degrees WOOHOO better than 88!

    But now the leak has taken over 1/4 of the floor.
