I hate discovering about 10 minutes before the end of my shift that the hotel laundry room has a mini-waterfall coming from the ceiling!! I mean, serious lake on the floor in there... SO... I call my poor boss and wake him up to let him know there's a problem. I discover that not only is there a lake in the laundry room, but a fairly good sized pond in the elevator electric room and the elevator is not working (I discovered this when I tried to take the elevator upstairs to see what was going on). The room immediately above was vacant, so I checked it... nothing. Then I notice that there a dripdripdrip coming from the ceiling above the room next door...SO.. downstairs again to see if the room I need to get into is occupied - it was - so I tried calling, and the guy didnt answer. Back up stairs to the THIRD floor, where I knock on the door and wake the guy up (and he's all grumpy). He doesnt hear well, so I'm standing in the hallway at midnight, explaining VERY LOUDLY that I need to get into his room to locate the leak. Finally, he lets me in, and sure as shit, his floor is soaking wet, the bathroom has a lake in it, because the dude had stoppered the sink and LEFT THE FUCKING WATER RUNNING!!!!! Had to have been for HOURS since it had made it's way in such great quantities DOWN THREE FLOORS!!!! :: GAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!! :: So now our elevator is out of order until the tech gets there in the morning, god only knows what kind of water damage has been done in the walls, my back hurts from mopping in the laundry room, and now I'm all hyped up from the adrenaline and I have to be at work at noon for a 12 hour shift. Oh yeah, and bossman told me to go reset the breaker on the elevator.. my response? "Jay.. I am NOT entirely comfortable with the idea of playing with high voltage WHILE STANDING IN WATER!!" (to be fair, I HAD woken him.. had he not been sleep groggy, I dont think he would have suggested it...).
