Disaster Today After The Fire Drill

After the fire-alarms went off and most of you went home, Caitlyn and I went back in the building to try and print. Lindsay had to take off and go to her darkroom class. As we were walking around we could hear the pitter-patter of raindrops in the ceiling. After a few minutes people in the building started to realize that it was water leaking from the pipes...or somewhere.

Everyone went into battle mode. We dropped everything and started to move expensive items, cover them with whatever trash bags we could find. Several iMacs were having water dripping right onto them for several minutes. For the most part the quick thinking of people helped save the most expensive items we have down there. There will be a few iMacs that will need to be dried out...who knows if they can be salvaged.

The original intent was to have prints due tomorrow during class. I am not sure that I can, in good conscience require them to still be due tomorrow. There's just no way that Phil can have the print lab up and running by tomorrow morning.

If you have your prints done, bring them. If not, don't worry about it. We'll talk about what can happen about the printing.

Meet at 11am, just as planned. Bring your food. If we have to move rooms we will figure that out when we get there. I'll try and get there early and see what the situation is.

Thanks to Caitlyn for jumping in and just doing what needed to be done.
