Hmm...that's bad. Uhmm...a vacation in Sweden? Sounds interesting...
Those Ballofix, are they for shutting the water off or for doing other
things like making it possible to direct the water? I'm not sure if
what we have is a ballofix...:-)

Göteborg, you say...hmm, I wonder if the local computer science geeks
will have a midsummers eve[0] party this year as well...should be two
BOFH's[1] there, at least. Guess we could find a few more and go to a
pub or two if it were another day, though. As for scrapyards...I have
no idea at all. I am not that interested in that kind of hardware[2].

Ah. We have one which directs the water and can turn the water stream
into a "shower" stream. Quite handy, I'd say. Now, if only the drains
didn't have a stupid hole in it where the previous guest had a dish
washing machine's stderr connected...It's not very funny to have to
clean the floor everytime someone above pours a lot of water down the
drain...the fscking luserish janitor has been here twice[0] and both
times said he fixed it. Like hell he did!

[0] Would've been more times if they didn't have so fscking bad
phone answering times...I'm not really awake until they've closed.
