Massive piss-off of the week

Do you think you can beat mine?

You might have to share what it is.

I got stuck behind an old lady (Q-tip) today missing quarter after quarter into the toll booth collector thingy.

I waited in line for 30 minutes in the Taco Bell drive through with only 2 cars ahead of me...

I have to brew my coffe in a filing cabinet . . . they carted off our snack machine . . . one of the BPs laid some asteroids . . . the broken dishwasher despite not being used decided it would leak anyway . . and that was the first quarter.

It'll balance out somehow or another at some point

we set up in our backyard a 4 foot high, 18 foot diameter, 5000+ gallon pool.

Today, while my brothers were in it a hole opened up in our backyard, apparantly there was a dry well or septic tank that was there like 60 years ago that want sealed porperly and we are suffering for it. the water gushed under our backporch down our basement stairwell, smashed the lock clean of the door, and covered the entire basement (about 1000 square foot) with 10 inches of water)

we've been ripping out carpets and moving things ever since. we just finished "all we could do" for tonite.

thank god my brother in law is an expert with construction and has dealt with severe flooding before.

we're just thankful that one brother who was on the pool ladder was "only " swept up aginst the side of the deck and has some scratches and the other brother, who fell into the hole with the pool, got pulled out by the first brother.

i'll post pics later probably tomorow

she grabbed my arm and pulled my into the backyard where i was greeted by this image...

yeah thats right a gaping hole in my backyard.

apparatnly there is some sort of dry well or something down there that gave way and caused the whole pool to collapse with my two brothers in it. (both thank god were not seriously hurt {although i think my littlist brother who ended up inside that hole is still in shock} mostly some scrapes and cuts)

well, u might be wondering where all that water went.
right here------\/

it filled this stairwell and burst the door at the bottom open. rippping the lock out.

it pured thru my basement ripping up carpet and destroying all of our stuff. although we lost a lot of things the only thing that really upset us was that a ton of my dads college stuff like his doctorate and his diploma's got soaked but we might be able to save it. anyway we spend the rest of the day ripping out soaking wet carpetand hauling out bookshelves.

here are some pics of the carnage and clean up that followed
