Abandon Ship!

Monday's as a general rule are crappy but today takes the cake!

As I sit here typing this let me give you an idea of the conditions:

Our building is having its roof replaced (and has been for months now) due to the age and damage received from the over abundance of storms. Early this morning a rain storm came into Pensacola and it still persists.

I waded into the office to find that the building was not in much better shape than the parking lot. Most classrooms and offices have leaks in them some worse than others. The greatest part of it is that the largest leaks occur right over our two main labs. Thank God for plastic sheeting!

I am sitting in a building without power, water coming down all around me, and the stench of wet molding carpet permeates the air.

I am told that the power is out because water is coming in on the fuse box, but strangely enough only the circuits controlling the lights are affected.

They say that we will have classes at noon but I do not see that happening. The fuse box has to dry out for them to work on it and the water has to stop coming in the building for the box to dry out and the rain has to stop for the water to stop. None of these things look as thought they are going to happen any time soon.

This building is a sinking ship that we should all abandon and take to the life rafts before someone gets stuck going down with the ship.
