Stephen & Elisabeth in England

I bathed in human waste today
Mood:

smelly
Now Playing: Ministry - Rio Grande Blood
Topic: Stephen Says
Woking got hit by a flash flood and our drainage system failed so the basement at work got flooded by raw sewage (It was up to the door handles). I had to use plastic garbage bins to scoop out the 'water.' We used long sticks to un-block the drains. We lost a bedroom, bathroom and a large section of hallway. We had to cut apart copious amounts of carpet to stop the rot from setting in. We went to the pub.

I am exhausted. I didn't go to bed 'till 1AM last night and had to be up and at work at 6:30AM to set up for these managerial interviews. All I've eaten today is a cheese sandwitch.

I dry heaved for 5 minutes.
I am not happy.
I used my Amazing Managerial Ability to pay myself and my collegue who helped me time and a half because no one should have to go to the pub covered in other peoples piss and shit.
My converse are in the washing machine.
I think I've lost a good pair of Levis, shirt, and other things.
I assert: I am not happy.

I don't know if I want to drink myself silly or just go to bed because a couple of pints and double Jack's and cokes barely had an effect.

Bleah.

Oh yuck. I always thought that you called someone else to do the clean-up if something like this happened.

So did I. I haven't slept properly for the last 2 days and I suspect that the trauma of Friday night is partly to blame.

Congratulations on posting and I'm well impressed that Angelfire double-posted your comment to make up for the one it swallowed previously. One day we'll move over to a proper blog-site like Livejournal, I swear.

Sounds horrible.

I just noticed the funniest thing. The ads at the top of your post are all for waterproofing your basement and fixing the problems with mould!

Has this happened before? Maybe you should convince your bosses to buy a pump incase it happens again.

It has happened before and there are pumps to deal with it. Only debris fell over the grates & blocked them. As a result we had to use brooms & sticks to unblock them.
