Another rainy day in St. Louie

[Kaielen]

aaaannnd the roof is LEAKING AGAIN!!!

I made my usual phone call...however...I have become a bit more brazen lately in my day to day life. I like to think of it as the "Dark Kaielen" finally seeing some action.

"Acronym for cheesy government fix o' flat operation, how may I help you?"

"Hi. My name is Kaielen and I'm in building 104, post 38G and my roof is leaking."

"Well, it's raining really hard outside."

Long pause from me. "The roof is supposed to leak?"

Loud obnoxious sigh. "No, the roof is not supposed to leak."

"So this phone call is warranted, then?"

"What?"

"Warranted? You know...um...appropriate, justifiable, legitimate, licit, logical, permissible, pertinent, relevant, suitable?"

"Do you want your roof fixed or did you want to just call to be a smart ass?"

"I called because I want you to get on your two way radio and call someone who actually knows how to fix @#%$."

"Excuse me?"

"I said, 'Have you hugged your mom today?'"

"Huh?"

"Building. That's Bravo, Uniform, India, Lima, Delta, India, November, Golf. 1 zero 4, Post, Papa, Oscar, Sierra, Tango, three, eight. There is a strange orangish liquid dripping down from the tiles and causing them to engorge with water and hang down like tumors from the ceiling."

CLICK!

So here I sit in my cubicle...with an umbrella...

/sigh

Edit: Hahaha, right after I clicked to post this, about three tiles gave way and splattered out in the hallway. If the ones over my head go, I'm thinking lawsuit. Edited by: Kaielen at: 11/18/03 11:04 am

Had a reply....but I think I'm too nice to post it (damn niceness!).

Regardless, you're coming across pretty pathetically / needing an ego stroke. I could play the part, but I'm not a big cheerer-on of complete asshats.

Nimm

[Kaielen]

No ego stroking needed. I'm going to have to start linking my old rants to the follow ups. My first rant on here ever was over a leaky roof.

I think I'm in love with "Dark Kaielen"

And I had this perfectly witty story about the fact that the orange liquid is actually the substance that causes Postal workers to "go postal"

but it didn't post and it got wiiped!!! (Back In Black)

I'm actually starting to dig it. I get so freaking frustrated and lonely sometimes, but the few seconds of gratuitous "holy @#%$, that woman is hitting on me!" every so often is beginning to get on my good side.

No ego stroking needed.

Uh huh! Right!

[Kaielen]

Hey! You were the people that told me to grow a set of balls and go to work with them.

I'm just showing off the fruits of my labor.

I was humbled anyway. I swear I really do have an umbrella set up in my cubicle...in plain view of the umbrella, the maintenance people fixed the tiles and roof in the hallway and not over my cubicle. I was going to rant on that...but the suspense of waiting for a goosh of water to splurt onto my PC and fry my ass overwrote the desire to lash out.

lol, I can feel the rage eminating from your rant.

[EZ_Dain Bornhald]

You handled it the wrong way. Yes the operator was an ass and deserved worse than what you said to him but you still have a leaky roof and nobody on the way.

Blunt persistance all the way!

That reminds me of the time some DB software disappeared from my computer at work. We all have the same image and I was the only one having the problem so I called up the internal helpdesk and he didn't seem to care either. So I got smartassy and described what the missing icon looked like. How the @#%$ was I supposed to know he was blind? Didn't accomplish much that day...

[Kaielen]

It's okay...this morning seems to have changed everything. Water leaked onto the toner storage area of one of our microfiche machines behind my cubicle.

It is the most interesting mixture of effect and texture that I have ever seen come out of a printer.

I think my supervisors are going to give the maintenance people a serious ass chewing. Destroying my calculator and half my work doesn't matter, but mess up one toner cartridge and that @#%$'s fixed in a heartbeat.
