Today I was to work from home since my laptop at work is being sent off to have the last repair repaired. This isn't ordinarily a bad thing. I like working from home and did it for years. It's also not at all inconvenient to the company because I am all of five minutes away and normally work on a different floor from most everyone else anyway. It's so convenient in fact that there was no need to cancel a 10:30 meeting I had this morning. At 10:23 I walked out the door with time to spare. That would be the point where my day started going awry.

On the way out I ran into a couple of guys from Barclay. I mentioned to them that yesterday we had noticed black sludge on the wall. )

They were aware of it. Not that they did anything about it, but they were aware of it. Then they informed me that they needed to come into our apartment again today. Let me reiterate that the plan was for me to work at home today. Not anymore. Instead I had another almost wholly unproductive day finishing off myself the install of a temporary machine being set up for me that would have otherwise been waiting for me Monday.

Late in the afternoon (around the time I was finished up installing everything I need to work on the temporary computer) I noticed two guys in Barclay uniforms in the apartment. )

It was amusing watching them work. The best part was watching the younger one take the tarp off the computer, which jiggled the mouse, and notice himself on the cam. Unfortunately I missed getting a screen shot of that. His face was priceless.

And so what is the result of two guys from Barclay RestorDestroyations in my apartment? Hole One and Hole Two have now been joined by Hole Three and Hole Four )
