Some Days You're the Bug

After a while, one must laugh at their own misfortune. Having moved into my new -- icy cold -- office, I looked up late yesterday to see an ominous spot on the ceiling. You know the kind. They mean only one thing: A leak. This morning, the spot had grown many times over, and my office had it easy. Three doors down, there was a 5 foot circle of wet carpet.

It seems the contractor forgot to actually tighten the fittings on the heating system. When the water rushed it, well it does what water does through a loose fitting. So now my office looks like Beirut, and all of the computer equipment has been shuttled back to the old office. Who knows when the contractor will be back. Obviously, they will have to check all of the fittings in the entire office suite. This will be a huge joy.

In similar news, 1 month and 2 days and counting and STILL no new lock on the lab door.

Other than the facilities, however, OSU is a great place to be.
