A Rainy Day

About 5 years ago,  on the 10th of August of 2007,  I had the most unforgettable experience of my life. It started on a rainy day, in Pittsburgh PA. 

Heavy torrentials caused the road on delta Drive  where I worked, to flood. It was about 3 feet deep. Cars could not go through and we had a mini truck floating about when he tried to drive through it - which was very funny! A tracktor had to push it out of the flood! A boat would have come in handy here!

Next, the heavy rain caused the building to leak so puddles of water were found all over the lab area - production, clean rooms etc and to top that, we had mice running around the office!!!  I think they are simply adorable and the best part of the day! hehe I could definitely have more days like this! Of course on the down side, the labs were down and no work can be done till they fix it.

After all that, the fire alarm went off and there was a burnt smell everywhere but no smoke. Fire trucks came by to inspect. To top that, one of the fire truck had a boat hauled behind the truck! I managed to save my lunch when we were told to evacuate! We were only able to enter the building by 11am!

Everything was a big puddle of water and mess but we cleaned up! I have to admit that I had a jolly good time doing that! No Kidding here.

3pm : Heavy down pour again and another flood. The leak at the labs started again, this time worst than ever! It was like waterfall coming through the walls! Needless to say, this building is Cursed! It was something out of the movies!  Now, who said that we have to go the movies for a good show!

Well people, I hope you enjoyed reading my little adventure back when I worked at CMI! Things could have been worse but I took it all in a stride. It is part of the entertainment and if we looked closely, we will always find something funny in a bad situation. I just tell myself, God sure does have a Great sense of humour!  It would have been hillarious, if there were mice ridding in little miniature boats floating about the  temporary lake created by the heavy rain, looking for higher ground! Yes, we had mice in the office as well!
