For those of you who have heard about the [small plane crash](http://www.gothamist.com/archives/2006/10/11/helicopter_cras.php) – I’m fine. Not my building, although very close by.
I [took a few pictures](http://www.flickr.com/photos/remydwd/tags/72ndstcrash/). Gawker has some [better ones](http://gawker.com/news/photos/first-photos-plane-crashes-into-manhattan-building-206915.php) – the scorch mark is unreal.
I am pleased to announce that as of July 1st, 2006, I have received an in-department promotion to the position of IT Specialist *Technology Services Analyst*. I am now, in some sense of the word, *management*.
More details later. For now, I need sleep – some of us do have to work on Monday.
As I was trying to track down a few people today, I noticed a large pool of water creeping into our new office space. In a low key manner I’ve come to understand is typical of me, I knocked on someone’s door and beckoned them towards it, quietly mentioning this large mass of water that had already infiltrated two offices.
Panic ensued. Panic with, thankfully, a lot of laughter. It wasn’t just our space that had the water running through it, the lowest floor of the library was also soaked – undoubtedly caused by the massive rainstorm. We kept our spirits high. Rubber duckies were dunked, cameras were deployed, and when facilities arrived with an armada of shopvacs, they were more than willing to pose for a photo or two.
It was the nice sort of ridiculous situation to end a week with.
(I have a few more pictures up under the tag workflood, if you’re bored.)
