OK here's a couple of mini-rants. I had taken today as a "work from home" day since my daughter did not have school today, and I was able to schedule some contractors to do some insulation work that the gas company is pretty much footing the bill for entirely.
At 6am my wife told me the downstairs hallway was flooded. Turns out the pipe that carried water runoff from my heating system had frozen and the water pump was just spewing water into the hallway. 4 pairs of shoes were drenched, so I sent my son to daycare in shoes that didn't fit. Finally got a McGuyver'd workaround in place thanks to my father-in-law around noontime. So I cleaned up all the water and put the shoes in front of the fireplace to dry off.
Then my daughter blocked a toilet but decided instead of telling me, she'd just flush the toilet repeatedly to try and unclog it. So I had water on THAT bathroom floor, which is on the second floor, and it also leaked down to the first floor of the house as well. So I had to clean THAT water up.
And, just when I thought things were OK, I walked into my bedroom to discover a 3 feet long crack in the ceiling, and paint/plaster chips all over my dresser. Turns out that most likely one of the contractors misstepped in the attic, and then the weight of the new insulation caused the ceiling to buckle. So now they are calling in a plasterer to fix the damage.
Screw you, Monday. Screw you sideways with a brick.
