Mini disaster

When I showed up at work this morning, I was greeted with the news that a water pipe had burst on the second floor above our offices, sending water down through the ceiling above the first floor and into a number of offices. My office was spared--except for water that leaked under the door and soaked some old papers and boxes on the floor--but our main office, library and supply room got the brunt of the flood. Everything there--books, documents, equipment (computers and printers!), supplies--got soaked by the water that rained down from the ceiling. The administrative staff in those office are now in the process of drying out their things in the hope that many can still be salvaged.
