Eeewwwwww!!

So our basement flooded today. And not just a time-consuming pipe burst. It was backed up sewage! What really upsets me is how long it took them to get someone out to fix it--especially considering that any time someone in the entire building used water, it ended up in my basement. I ended up having to throw out a few boxes of old clothes (that I am probably never going to fit in again anyways) and frantically throwing everything to the other side of the basement. It took five guys to figure out what was wrong and clean it up, but get this--they were not allowed to touch any of my personal property, so they just stood and watched as I lugged everything around. I guess they put down some pretty potent cleaner so it's fine, but it still makes my skin shiver as I walk on the floor (and now I wear flip-flops).
