I am the owner of a local answering service, hence callgirl. Today has been terrible! You can only imagine. Okay.....you probably need a laugh. Picture this. Jessica (David's 22 year old autistic daughter) decides to clean the bathroom without any help. I hear this gushing of water. I run the the restroom and the water is shooting straight up out of the back of the toilet. She had taken the lid off the back of the toilet (God knows why) and managed to shoot water about 10 feet in the air.
I get to the bathroom and cannot shut off the water. Jess is standing there saying "Mayday Mayday" with one small paper towel on the floor to sop up the water. Of course I started swearing as the first reaction and she high tailed it out of the bathroom. I did not have enough strength to turn off the shut off valve.....it would not move!
So there I am crying (actually hysterical) .......ankle deep in water. With the phone ringing off the hook. I am working with a semi-new girl......I cannot stop the water from shooting up the wall! I can't stop the water or answer the phones. My best bet was to put my hand over the geyser and stand there crying till someone rescues me.
In comes the exterminator (Lowell). I yelled for help and he came in and promptly shut off the turn off valve. Truly it would not budge for me.
Now I have water everywhere. I am soaked from head to toe. My hair is sopping wet and I am still hysterical. All the water ran into the operations room. I just ordered 300 pounds of paper. I was just SURE it was sopping wet along with me.
Okay.....the paper was dry and Dave's (my husband) ex-wife's husband came to my resue & fixed the toilet. Because I got pissed at one point and just broke the damn part off inside the toilet hoping it would stop. You know.......it didn't.
I can smile now but it wasn't pretty and neither was I! How was your day?
