Awkward Work Moment...

Well. It all started with the fact that I had to potty.

So, I proceeded to go into the restroom. I did my business, flushed, and started washing my hands. (This is a one toilet restroom by-the-way)Usually by the time I'm done washing my hands, the potty is done filling up with water and all of that jazz. Well, it wasn't. The water just kept on running, and running......and running. So I stood there and watched it for a little while, thinking, oh, it will stop. (Mind you, I've done nothing but pee in this toilet, and I'm totally confused as to why it is even doing this) Wait for it...Wait for it...Nada. At this point, the water has risen to the toilet seat, and is now starting to flow over the sides. {Insert scream here} I panicked.

First Words:"Oh, *$&%"

My thoughts: What?? WHY ME?? AHHH! What do do, what to do, what to do??? Should I tell someone???NO. Towels, Towels, Towels...AH!

I opted for taking care of it myself. I grabbed the roll of paper towels and tried to mop up as much water as I could. Then it occurred to me, the tank of the toilet must not be filling up with water, and this toilet isn't going to stop spewing water until it does. So, I ripped of the top of the tank, clamoring noise and all, and started fiddling around with the little mechanism in there. Come to find out, the plug in the bottom of it wasn't sealing completely. Well, I fixed it, and threw the lid back on. In the mean time, the floor is now completely covered in water. Yay. I ended up using an entire roll of paper towels to get everything cleaned up. My pants got wet in the process also. Ew.

My conclusion to all of this crazyness...Someone clogged the toilet earlier that day, and just left if for the next victim to deal with. Me. Thanks for that fellow office employee.

Next, exit the bathroom. My managers office is right next to the potty...she was giving me a very strange look...embarrassing? Yes, because I'm sure she heard the whole thing...and I was in there for at least 10-15 minutes. Oh me, Oh my.
