I was walking in through the Lobby of Microsoft building 18 yesterday, and someone came in to tell the receptionist that there was a burst water main leaking in the building. Unfortunately, this is a normal occurrence in Microsoft Building 18. And has happened every year since 2007, and typically localized arround the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit team members.

Luckily, this year, we found most Team Members, and we were disconnecting machines from power before the flood waters came. And were also able to get critical machines out before the moving crews came to cart the equipment out to an undisclosed location during repairs.

For example, here is what the office of Mike Niehaus looked like yesterday.

His entire office is now completely bare, and cleaning crews are doing their thing.

It’s been a crazy start to 2010! Hopefully things will calm down and I’ll start posting more soon.
