Woe is me

The shower room is out of commision because of (ironically enough) a flood. They wouldn’t even let me in to grab stuff out of my locker. It being a cold and rainy day, I’m sitting here with my frizzy unwashed hair and unmoisturised face, wearing all the warm clothes I can muster, and hugging a mug of hot mint tea.

Boooooooooooo.

    Oh, great, and now they’ve started drilling about 5 m away from my desk. Luckily there are lots of Easter treats around.

    awwwwww.. sounds like one of those days when you should’ve stayed in bed (like me last week). I hope it gets better! (or just, go home and take an Early Easter!)

  3. Mermaid says:

    Bummer. You better eat all the Easter treats you can find..it will help keep you warm! And if there is a spare bunny, I will in your building in just over an hour…..

    Do what I do.. pop over to the hospital and ‘borrow’ an on-call room. You could even sneak in a nap after your warm shower 🙂

  5. Cath@VWXYNot? says:

    Chall, that sounds like it would have been a good idea, except that I have the first session of a course starting in half an hour, which I’m looking forward to.(Mermaid, I’ll see you in there! I hope the course improves the day rather than making it more frustrating).Dr. A, I know someone who might be able to direct me to an on-call room… hmmmm… of course, my shampoo, towel etc. are in my locker.

  6. Mrs. CH says:

    Sounds like it would have been a good day to go home early 😛

  7. Dr. J says:

    Cath: sounds not dissimilar to the uphill battle that is working in my whitenoise hole is like most days!! No shower here either unless you count the cold emergency showers.Dr A: you never told me about the ruse! Where???

  8. Cath@VWXYNot? says:

    Mrs CH, the course was actually really really good, so no regrets with staying all day!Dr J, luckily the drilling didn’t last too long. No shower would really suck, although I guess at least you’re prepared for it (i.e. shower at home before leaving for work).I managed a brief commando raid on the still forbidden room to grab my towel for swimming…

  9. ScienceGirl says:

    Command raid 🙂 I hope you have your shower back soon.

    Glad you had some hot mint tea! Otherwise, it sounds like a very cold ordeal!

  11. Cath@VWXYNot? says:

    SG, I’ve showered at home today just in case the room is still out of action. I’ll have ridiculous frizzy helmet hair, but at least it’ll be clean!SF, yeah, it took me a few hours to warm up properly (my work is usually quite cold unless it’s sunny out, in which case it bakes). Tea saves the day yet again!
