SO PISSED! Our water is shut off today for 4 hours...

[boscobel]

So our water at work is shut off today for 4 fucking hours and we are supposed to walk to another building 2 blocks away. Ok, it's not far, but 4 hours is a long time. I pee once an hour, so should I just sit the fuck up in the other building? Why would they schedule to put all these people out of water for 4 hours in the middle of the work day? I work in Facilities, so I know that you can request these things not be done in the work day, but at night. Why is this ok. I am so pissed I want to slam something.

 

And to make matters worse, I am using the diva cup full time this month and have my period and am pissy. So I am supposed to walk 2 blocks to pee and empty my diva cup. I won't have the ability to rinse it out and will have to put it back in in a public restroom? And then have to pull my pants up with unwashed hands and go into the area with sinks to wash up? SO GROSS! I am SO PISSED RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder why offices even bother opening when there's no water. Seems like a health hazzard to me!

 

I understand what you're dealing with though. My old job lost water all the time and we'd have to drive to McDonalds to use their bathroom. Lovely.

[boscobel]

Yeah, and our bldg has a childrens center at one end. That's a health hazzard to not be able to wash hands after changing diapers! I mean, I know there's wipes and all, but that's still really gross.

 

My co-worker and I are going to try to Marlton, NJ and go to PF Changs for lunch. We are going to take a super long one and I don't give a f*ck what they say. They should've sent us home, or at least warned us. Damn stupid m-f-ers.

I'm pissy enough when they shut off the water at our house, I think I'd be 10 x more pissed if it happened at work!

 

Isn't it funny though how water shutting off is such a major inconvenience to us and in some countries (i.e Africa), water is basically a luxury.

 

I didn't even know they had a PF Changs in Marlton. That's great! I'll have to check that out. I always go to the one in Princeton.

Seriously? What do they expect everyone to do? That's ridiculous! I would totally say that I had a doctors appt or something and jet on outta there. It's crazy that they're asking everyone to go to another building!!! See ya.

LMAO....sorry girl-I'm not laughing at your situation...just laughing how you're PMSing...I am too, and I feel like i could honestly MURDER someone.

That is the stupidest thing though-Who turns off the water during work hours

[Jacqueline]

Dang nowwww I understand why you'r cranky today. I'd go home Car, screw that. What PF Changs you going to? You have to drive to NJ today?!!?!?!!?!! WTF!

[lmg970]

I agree go home. Is there a problem with the plumbing or was this scheduled maintenance. my fi is a plumber and whenever a large building is going to shut off water for work they usually give a notice out.

that sucks if you company didnt do that also so at least you would be prepared.

[boscobel]

So we just took a 2 hour 45 minute lunch. That makes me feel much better, ha, suck that work!

 

Problem is, now I have to pee and still no water.

[Yari]

Dang that is so wrong!

 

Glad you took a long lunch.
