So lately I have spent time reading my cousin's blog of his summer in Asia and it never failed - he seemed to get into something interesting all the time! (Yeah he was in Asia, but still...) Now that he is home, even in Indiana he finds himself enjoying life as it comes and then writing about it. Well, I've been learning about living life for today and not wishing for tomorrow to come (because then I will never enjoy today)...so maybe if I start a blog and tell you about it, then it will help me find the smaller adventures in life.
This afternoon I was enjoying a Friday with no classes, doing something on my computer, not too sure what, when one of the girls on my hall came and knocked on my door. I was happy to see her until she warned me about our community bathroom...she said something about one toilet overflowing and the other one being clogged but not having any water.
I have to admit, I had been aware of the clogged toilet already, I saw it but kinda hoped someone else would plunge it...I should have known better - I'm the RA (its assumed in the job description to plunge toilets). ha. So I got up from my computer to scope out the damage, grabbed the plunger to attack the first problem. I tried flushing, to add some water...water came but the mass of toilet paper did not flush. So...I tried flushing again, plunging at the same time. Suddenly I had to jump out of the way for fear that the water would cascade over the side of the bowl...thankfully it did not but instead unclogged itself. First issue solved - not so bad.
Now on to problem 2...the small pond of water around the last toilet in our bathroom. I spent the next 10 minutes mopping up water from the floor and trying not to think about where it came from and hoping that next time people learn to plunge their own toilets! Mmm yes, some of the joys of being an RA...what else will this year bring?

Sometimes having a 6th sense about toilets can be both a curse & a blessing. Glad everything worked out. Dad
