This afternoon I was working with a staff member and one of the social worker came looking for me and said, "We need you right away! The surge protector and the printer are both making a very loud humming sound!" Naturally, this is a bad thing, and so I dropped what I was doing and rushed down there.
As I came near the printer, I could indeed hear a loud humming. I approached slowly, in fear that the thing would suddenly arc and shock me. I turned and noticed the staff standing a good fifty feet away, probably ready to call 911 at a moment's notice. Cowards. The closer I got, the harder it was to determine exactly where the sound was coming from. And then I realized what the sound was...
The fan in the women's bathroom on the other side of the wall.
Their reaction? "There's a bathroom there?"
