Who needs a roof in the winter?

Note to self: when your company feels the need to send the head of site services from desk to desk alerting everyone that they will be conducting roof work over the next few weeks, which should have no affect on you, but just in case, here's a business card to call with any problems, it is time to work from home.

Call me naïve, but by "potential problems" I was thinking maybe a ceiling tile would come loose and wind up in my cube. (which, I wouldn't notice due to the piles of paper stacked everywhere, making it look like I am trying to build a fourth wall to my cube.) or, worse case scenario, some poor roof worker dude would come crashing through the ceiling leaving a man shaped hole in the ceiling, a la bugs bunny cartoons. what i did not expect was a recreation of typhoon lagoon. Basically, it's like Kevin Costner's water world was filming here over the weekend. I would like to see the project plan for the roof repair. because from the flood zone that used to be the third floor of my office building, you would think that the building is currently roofless. and I'm pretty sure that would not be an approved milestone in operation: repair the schizz that has thus far passed as a roof. Seriously, i'm expecting to see a frog hop by any minute in search of his lily pad and having to settle for a group of clumped up, water-logged green post it notes. and amid the frenzied conversations in Spanish that make me wish i had paid a little more attention in my six years of high school and college Spanish classes, the coughing is increasing at such an alarming rate it sounds like I am working on a tuberculosis ward in 1923.

Concerns of the potential for asbestos- and mildew-related health problems aside, I have to give the guys a hand who are repairing the WTF roof damage caused by the acme roof repair company that was apparently originally hired. Because these guys are buzzing around here spackling shit, throwing up new ceiling tiles, and crawling around a what cannot be too sturdy sub-ceiling to make sure there aren't any more potential waterfalls waiting to dump out on our heads. Great, now there are tubes running from the ceiling into buckets to collect water. where is that OSHA handbook when you need it?
