Let it snow

It gets better.

I was providing some training in one of our company's other locations yesterday, away from the scene of the horrible bloodbath in my office.

One of the folks who works in my main office drove over for the training and gave me an update on how the clean-up efforts are coming along.

She told me the carpet cleaners had come and bleached a big spot in the carpet. Just in case I wanted to forget that my place had been covered in Type O Negative, I've now got a big bleach spot to remind me.

Apparently some blood also got either onto or into (I'm not sure which) the lighting fixture. That blood dried over night and began FLAKING OFF AND FALLING ONTO MY FURNITURE.

Thank heavens I didn't trot in there with my open coffee cup, because it's now SNOWING BLOOD in my office. And I'm no doctor, but I can't think it's very healthy to breath flakes of someone else's dried blood.

That's it. Just thought you'd appreciate an update.

Oh. My. God. That is disgusting and I would die if dried blood flaked into my Diet Coke.

Hmmmmmm....maybe you should steer clear of the office until they've thoroughly cleaned and gutted your office space.

Did the air conditioner guy open a main artery?

I love the mental picture in my mind of how productivity in your office came to a screeching halt when this happened. The initial panic, subsequent clean up, and later reenactment coupled with all of the gawking and talking made me smile. A lot.

OK, after hours of research

It is OK for YOU to breath and or drink blood flakes. But I am canceling that appointment in your office until you get new carpet. And lights.

And walls.

"Bloodbath in my office" and "snowing blood" should get you listed on some really cool google searches.

I'm thinking you need a new office...

And Darren's so right! You're going to have some weirdos on your site. I mean other than us.
