there is something to be thankful for in every situation
you know it's bad if i'm feeling sorry for the boss.
we have had rat problems at work on and off for years. gross, but by now not unexpected. yesterday our regular rat guy was training in a new rat guy, so while our guy might not necessarily check every trap every time, he felt he should show the new guy where they all are. and so they headed to the boiler room to check a couple traps that don't always get checked.
the boiler room was flooded with 8 inches of water. apparently a sub-pump that was replaced 3 months ago broke.
oh, but that's not all. 8 inches of water meant that the water was right under the boiler. which caused some complications with the gas and electricity and whatnot. which meant that there was a small fire there in the boiler room that no one ever really goes into.
thank GOD for rats.

A small fire??! Yikes! (and yikes about rats too)
oh wow :-(
God is amazing. There has been many times when a small "disaster" has averted a much larger disaster and I know that God's hand was in it. So thankful that all your residents were safe!
definitely.
it was fun, too, for him that the truck they brought to pump the water into (garbage truck size) filled before all the water was gone, so he and the plumber guy got to chip the ice away from a manhole, pull the cover up, and pump the rest into the sewer. exciting stuff.
