My Poor Office

So, when we almost got washed away on Thursday, my office flooded. It rained, actually it poured, for 4 hours straight. I haven't seen rain like that in a long time. As it turns out, I forgot my lunch that day, so I suggested to my office that we order pizza. Well, EVERYONE in Dallas decided to do that. I called 3 pizza places - one wouldn't take any more orders, one's line was busy, and finally, Piggie Pies would only let me pick it up. The pool at my community was filled to the brim, in fact, it almost spilled over. When I stepped into my parking lot of my office, the 'river' running through the parking lot had my foot completely covered with water - never seen anything like it. So, the water just pooled outside my office window, and finally it leaked into my office. Along one wall, the carpet was just soaked. We had to move my furniture around to get it dried out. Good thing I work where I do - quick access to carpet cleaners! So, here is what my office looked like on Thursday and Friday while we were drying out the carpet. Needless to say, I didn't get much work done, and the fans were so loud, if anyone wanted to talk to me, they had to yell!
