This afternoon, after lunch, I laid down for a bit and opened my security camera app. As soon as I opened the office feed, I jumped: the floor was covered in water. I bolted out of bed, grabbed a quick coffee, and raced to the office.
The moment I opened the door, the scene was way worse than I had imagined. It wasn't water; it was sewage. It had backed up through the toilet and flooded everything. It must have come up with some force, too, because the toilet and the floor around it were... well, let's just say it was a splatter scene, worse than any horror movie I've ever seen.
Of course, since it's Saturday afternoon, the building manager is unreachable. I managed to get a hold of a drainage company, but they won't be able to actually do the job until Monday. However, the owner of the company rushed over and at least managed to unblock the main drain.
It looks like someone on the upper floors (probably the University students on the top floor) had been flushing napkins, dental floss, hair, tissues, pads, etc., which created a clog at the outlet to the public sewers. The last video I saw from the camera was from Thursday morning, and it was still dry back then. Basically, every time someone upstairs used the bathroom, everything they flushed ended up in my office.
So, would it be fair to say I’ve had a shitty afternoon?

Ewwwww.
I often rewrite shit as: it.sh because a lot of IT is shitty.
But that's on a different level entirely. ;(
So much for enjoying some time off over the weekend I guess? I hope things eventually get cleaned up OK.

@stefano Yikes! We have had from time to time rain water coming down into our office, from the roof, which sometimes turnes into a huge pool that spills over - but luckily no sewage.

@stefano definitely a shitty afternoon. I can’t imagine. Best of luck getting everything sorted.
