Isn't it ironic how we say things in passing only to have them actually happen within the next day or two? We went to Wendy and Ryan's for dinner last night; Cafe Rio! Ryan and I were talking about having Monday off because of the holiday. Ryan was saying that he never really has a day off because his clients can call him at any time. I told him the same applied with me, except I will get calls (at ALL hours of the day depending on the situation) if there's a floor or fire alarm or break-in or something else that would warrant my presense.
At approximately 10am this morning I got a call saying there had been some flooding at the BYU Salt Lake Center (floors 3 & 4). The flooding started on the 5th floor and worked its way down to the 2nd floor. I hopped in the car (leaving Katie and the chores she had slated for me to do) and headed down to make sure everything was taken care of. It wasn't too bad. We required custodial services to come in and do some cleaning, but it was nothing compared to the 5th floor (where the flooding started) and 2nd floor (where the flood stopped).
After all is said and done, I'd say this weekend is starting out to be ok! I love my job simply for the fact that every day is new, different, and unpredictable. Would it be oxymoron-ish to say that the only constant at work is its unpredictable nature?
