Imagine

If you worked in what used to be an abandoned mill far out in the middle of nowhere, miles from any consumer hot spots. Instead the mill is right next to a gentle quiet flowing stream. And an art museum. Let's throw a museum in there. Pretty groovy huh.

So let's say the way the water supply works is that you have to transport it in from the nearby city through a pipe running under the bridge. Oh and there has to be a bridge also. And to ensure a constant supply the pipe is insulated with a thin layer of wires which generate heat. Engineers, feel free to insert a more technical description.

So one day you go to work and it's really cold. The kind of cold where you take heaving gasps to catch your breath. The kind of cut your face, make you cry, render your body immobile cold. And you are informed that due to such inclement weather conditions, the pipe has frozen. Its heating system, broken. How ridiculous would it be if you had no running water at work. That translates into no bathroom and no coffee. Wait so to make this story even MORE bizarre, you find out that it's going to be days, months even before the pipe can be fixed. Or maybe warmer weather. MEANWHILE, get this, you get a company wide portapotty. ONE portafrigginpotty for however long it takes. And instead of putting it smack outside, it's in the basement where the workmen are there 24/7 to work on the pipe. I mean can you even imagine that, how bizarre would that situation be, not to mention going to the bathroom with two workmen conversing nearby?

Oh wait, it's not made up, it's actually happening...to yours truly. And add to that: internet is also down and I am mid-reporting cycle which means staying until 10 every night. Flying portapotty solo. Mano e porta potty.
