At work the office was closed to students and there was a stench in the air, related to a dripping, stinging sludge. Apparently a drain upstairs was clogged with coffee grinds (= brown sludge). So, someone poured Draino in and the pipe burst (= dripping and stinging). Acid + base = bad idea.
It was cleaned up and fans were on, but fortunately we had a morning meeting elsewhere.
During which no one could get the computer working including several experts dragged in from the outside.
So then we decided to go the the birthday lunch early. It was also off the premises.
Coming back, some people decided to work from home. So I decided to work from my other campus employer, though I had heard that I had been moved to another office. My boss was not there, so I couldn't get in. Fortunately, the stench was cleared out by then, so I finished working as usual.
Today I learned that moving me to another office meant authorizing me for a key to another office. It did not mean moving my computer over or otherwise providing me with a computer which could access everything I need. It did not involve telling the person in the other office that I would be moving over. It did not involve moving my other supplies over.
I am tired. Also on day 11 of a cold.
