I'm not going to keep doing this, but... another day and more rain. I work in a flat-roofed, semi-temporary building. I came in early this morning and (yes, you've guessed right) one of my colleagues was dealing with a roof leak. We did what we could, which was limited to putting waste bins under the leak and umbrellas over the nearby monitors (which were switched off).

Having done the first aid, I reported the leak to the "property people". In due course they turned up and, apart from putting a plastic bag over the electrical sockets, did very little.

So, there we are. Some of those nearby are muttering things about "health and safety". Personally, I'm not but I'm not going to mess about with those sockets either. I recognise that fixing the roof is going to be more that a few minutes work, but guess I'm a bit disappointed that we haven't taken more effective action either to remove equipment from the immediate area or limit the amount of water coming in. And it is still raining hard.

OK. Back to the grindstone.
