Flood?

Feb 11, 2009 23:18

Ok, so about twenty minutes ago we experienced a torrential downpour of rain which really tested the house made of pudding and paddle pop sticks in which I live. The roof started leaking in several places and even after shutting all the windows, water poured through the seals. The (tiled) kitchen is all wet, but that's no biggie, but some spots on the carpet have received a beating. My housemate is away on a business trip, so I give him a call:

Me: Hi Doug, the house is flooding!

Doug: Oh my god, flooding? What's going on? You ok?

Me: Yeah, but the roof is leaking and the rain is really heavy. Do you have our landlord's number?

Doug: Should you call him now? It's pretty late.

Me: Yeah, but the house is getting kinda saturated.

Doug: Is any of our stuff wet?

Me: The kettle got wet but I wiped it down. Nothing else.

Doug: Oh, well...um...

Me: The house will dry out, but it might stink.

Doug: Didn't it stink before?

Me: Yeah.

Doug: Should we care about this any further?

Me: I dunno...I'm tired.

Doug: Same.

Me: Oh well, we tried. Night!

Doug: Night!

I am pretty much going to drown out of sheer apathy.
