I love when this happens!

The water main that takes water to my dorm burst. This means no showers, flushing the toilet, washing my hands, or anything involving water flow or pressure while in the dorm. Tomarrow I will need to walk to the rec center super early in the morning to shower. I will also need to walk there any time I need to blast a dookie. This is no good. Does anyone know how long it takes to fix a water main? There are some dudes with some machines working on it now, but I doubt they will be able to fix it tonight. It made a huge mess of the quad there was water (now ice) all over the place.

Happened to my school twice in one year, then again during the summer. It takes a day to repair it and one more to patch the hole.

Things could be worse...

I know things could be worse, but walking 1/4 of a mile in 6 degree whether at 6:30 in the am to shower before my classes and whenever I wanna blast a dookie does not float my boat. It is cold man.

And by "blasting a dookie" in a professor's desk drawer.

Thanks Tab, you got me in trouble
I even wrote a note to go with it
Dear Dr. Smithe
I noticed a distinct lack of poo in your desk drawer. I have taken the liberty of remedying this problem.

Thank you and have fun with the poo,

Nick

I liked the note, but Dr. Smithe didn't

Lucky. That happened here too, but because they had to manually shut it off. They had to shut it off because the entire system was backing up, into MY ROOM. We had sewage spewing out of our sink on and off for a week, and our toilet too. At some points it was so bad we had to stand by to replace the trash can that would fill up by the torrential... uh, torrents... every couple of minutes.

The plumber that eventually fixed our bathroom said he had been in the business for something like 40 years, and this was by far the foulest job he'd ever had to deal with. We couldn't take showers there for a few days because the stench was so awful.

God I hate Newport News...
