Tuesday night

Tonight there was one of the biggest rainstorms I've ever seen....in the lab. It is just a regular fact of life that our ceiling leaks on occasion - in my experience it's always been water, but my boss, CK, told me today that I should be careful because you never know when it might be caustic! - this usually happens on third shift, so it is practically routine to set out buckets under the largest drips, move all of the electrical equipment out of the way, let someone know to turn the water off and wait for it stop so we can mop up the mess. Our supervisor, DK, is involved in the process.
I stayed over into first shift today and there was a slight drizzle - probably just some water still hanging out above the ceiling tile - and CK freaked out about it - Chops was climbing the counters to find the problem within ten minutes. I don't think he actually fixed anything, but still, why can't we fix things on 3rd?
