Work was busy today. I barely got the time to sit down for lunch. Not that I had anything to eat with me today, but still. With as busy as it was, I could have used the 30 minutes to just sit and relax.

At the height of the busy-ness, we had a code red {for those of you who don't work at a hospital or have never been in a hospital setting where there were posted signs, a code red means fire.} The thing that triggered the code red is absolutely ridiculous. But in order to understand, I have to go back in the shift a little bit.

Earlier in the day, one of my coworkers tried to get a hold of the shift engineer to report a leak to him. He never answered the radio ... all 4 times he was called. So my coworker goes down to the messaging center to see if perhaps they can get a hold of him. He's paged twice and informs the messaging center that he's aware of the leak and that he would get it taken care of. Guess what? He doesn't do shit with the leak because apparently he couldn't find it.

Now fast forward to the code. Since no one could locate the exact location or what had triggered the code, the fire department arrived. They also couldn't find where the trigger was coming from. It was 20 minutes before the code was called clear and the building was put on a fire watch until something could be fixed. {A fire watch is where someone has to walk around the entire building every 15+ minutes checking to make sure nothing is on fire because the system is on hold and won't activate.}

Guess where it was coming from? The leak. On the 2nd floor of the building, they were scrubbing and waxing one of the rooms and there was a hole in the floor. Well, all the water being used to clean was dripping down though that hole and onto some wiring. The wiring belonged to a smoke detector. The dripping water short circuited the wiring, which is what had caused the fire alarm to go off.

If the fucking idiot engineer had taken his time to search for the leak, rather than just looking at the floor for a puddle, not seeing one {the puddle had actually soaked in to the rug that was on the floor} and moving on thinking that nothing was wrong there the whole situation could have been prevented.

I'm glad that tomorrow is my Friday. I've got my dog skills training class on Sunday, then another therapist appointment on Monday. Then back to work Tuesday.

Now that I actually have some time to sit and relax, I am going to take full advantage.

I knew the first one was a cipher, so I just substituted letters until it started to make sense. It helped that there were single letter words, since it's easier to figure out what the substitution is for those.

It sucks that your engineer dude didn't do his job, but at least nobody got hurt, I guess.
