I woke up last night at about 11pm - yes - for the first time since I started working overnights here I actually slept a decent amount of time.
I stepped into the kitchen to turn off my cell phone, which doubles as my alarm. I realized pretty quickly that I was standing in water! About ankle deep.
It was so gross. It was coming up out of the sink and cascading down the cabinets. Gross smelling dirty water.
I called maintenance - they came and spent half the night drudging the pipes under the sink. It was loud. It sounded like they were mining in there! They fixed it. And thankfully, I think the only thing of mine that was destroyed was my cookbooks. Sad, but not that bad. I'm mildly worried about the blackberry I have for work - it was in the flood zone, charging. I can't figure out if it's damaged - or if I just don't know how to work it yet - which is a strong possibility.
Housekeeping came this morning and cleaned up the black muck. But it looks like the carpet will have to be replaced and a carpenter will have to come look at the cabinets to see if they're salvageable.
Whew. What a night! Man, I'm glad I don't own this place :)
