fun day at work
Today at work it started raining. Well it was more like the clouds decided to send the whole raining thing to hell and just fall down on the earth all at once and get it over with! It was pouring down so hard for a couple of minutes that I couldn’t see buildings out my window that are 50 metres away. The company I work for is in a very structurally questionable building and the drainage system is not working too well (read: drainage system was designed and built by an idiot and has never worked). I’ve occasionally heard rumours over the past year that the basement floods every summer and when that happens it is not good! So anyway today was the annual “basement flood day” and basically the whole basement was flooded to about 30cm with brown ooze (See the pictures at www.flickr.com/photos/sizeight). So within minutes of the news traveling up to 2nd floor, everybody was down in the basement with no shoes and their pant up to their knees trying to save PC’s from drowning and removing their car’s before they have to float home.
I just thought of something funny… I wonder if it means anything? About 30 minutes before the rain started I had an interesting conversation with my line manager about…

It was quite an adventure
Um… I don’t know if I’m the only one, but I can’t read the rest of your post. It ends at “I had an interesting conversation with my line manager about…” About what?!? I can’t take it anymore… tell me! 
Seriously: Tried it in Opera and Firefox and couldn’t view the rest of the post.

Don’t worry it’s not a problem with my blog, the post stops at “about…”
You’ll have to wait and see, maybe I’ll publish what the conversation was about in a little while.
