The office floods…again!

I work in an old building with a roof that has certainly seen better days! On at least two prior occasions in the past 4 and a half years a sudden heavy downpour of rain has resulted in the office flooding.

Todays flood was by far the worst of those I have experienced while working there. The rain today though was like nothing I’ve ever seen before outside of a tropical storm! I described it as rainfall ‘of biblical proportions’ - the heavens really did open. There was also thunder, lightning and hail for good measure!

The aftermath of these floods is a damp, smelly, humid office for a week or two while the dehumidifiers do their thing. For now we are relocated to a dry office where mercifully we still have internet access so all is not lost!

I don’t know how long we will be ‘displaced’ for but I can’t believe the office will be dry within this week. I suspect we could be here for the best part of next week as well. Don’t they say that a change is as good as a rest…?
