Flood! This Monday Goi and me were on our way to work when we got a call saying worship was canceled and we had to come straight to our office. It had rained unusually hard the night before (any rain, we should just say is unusual right now actually, its been dry for so long now) and the roof had leaked. It wasn't just the type of leak you could stick a bucket under though. The Mission roof is designed *un-designed* to have a giant seam/dip in the middle that happens to form right over our wing. The seam had leaked to the point of pouring everything on our neighbors P.Yuwana and P.Saipins desks. Their computers, books, printers, scanners, everything was covered in water, this wasn't everything however. Because of the giant leak there, the water had traveled into the neighboring offices too. Ours in particular was about four inches deep. We bucketed water out the windows for several hours until we could mop and use rags. The powercords to the computers were pretty waterlogged and we spend the remainder of the day moving out *incase it rained again that night* and blowdrying the equipment.
SIDENOTE: (Funny blowdrying story tangent) Goi was trying to dry her hair the other day, and I always teased her because it took her little blowdryer hours because it was so weak. So I loaned her mine...haha. I had it set on low but immediately you could sense the change, it was almost as if her hair was in some wind tunnel/vortex/jet-wash. Her hair was BLOWN backwards and she screamed in shock. A couple minutes later she was shouting 'dron dron dron' *trans: 'hot hot hot'! I was laughing SO hard but I showed her how to use the 'cold' setting whenever it got too warm. Now she's addicted of course...
So back to our story. P.Yuwana had come back from her house with a blowdryer and had started on their sopping wet books and computers when Goi walked in. She saw Yuwana and was like, "Oh! I know the PERFECT thing!" I saw her later showing them how to use it and they were ALL screaming at how strong it was! Gotta love American technology...
We've been officially relocated for the dry-time-being into the radio room down the hall and it looks like the rain should let up soon and we can move back in :) We do have another office with equipment, but it has a giant hole in the roof!! Apparently the ceiling broke a couple months back and caved in on Andrews computer so we haven't been in there since...ironically however this room didn't leak a bit!
