we were having a plumbing issue and i, super awesome assistant manager man, Cal Reed, can fix all problems. this is my theater, this is my domain, this is my home. and i will not let all my hot water run out and have my patrons washing in cold water. this insubordination will not stand. not from this mop closet water sink. we had our carpets cleaned last night and that carpet cleaning crew had left us a present. a hot water spicket on the north side of my building was left on over night flowing full bore into the drain. and thank the good lord above that it was going down the drain and not spilling onto and under the floor. we’d a had real problems then.
but this faulty water faucet is no match for super awesome assistant manager man, Cal Reed. i have seen this problem before. i have conquered this nemesis previously. ha ha ha. no water faucet has ever been my equal.
until today. today i was defeated by the treacherous north side mop closet water faucet. i tried to reattach a hose to this water faucet that was flowing full bore. imagine trying to screw on one of those little pistol grip water shooty things on the end of a water hose with the water turned on all the way. but like a hundred times worse. it sucked. i got soaked through from head to toe. it only took about two minutes to become entirely soaked. i was defeated at this point but i figured since i already had to go home and change i was gonna give this damn water faucet all i had.
and it still defeated me. i’m pretty sure it was a good time for the other managers and the employees that got to see me either wresting with a deranged water faucet or walking down the hallway dripping with water.
i love my job.

You need to write a book! I’m sure it would be a best-seller.
