Plenty of water at the Desert Dispatch
Thursday, July 5th, 2007 by AaronThe rest of the High Desert may be in a drought right now, but on Tuesday, it looked like the Desert Dispatch had more water than it knew what to do with.
I returned from my daily routine of checking the police and sheriff’s logs to find much of the floor covered in water and newsprint. Most surprising of all, Ben Heldreth, a graphic designer, had a mop.
Apparently, a toilet malfunctioned and sent the water spewing into the office. Though I am not sure, I think the problem has been fixed. I really hope so.
Ben with a mop. He later wrote a song called, ‘This is why I mop.’
The Desert Dispatch staff simply asking, ‘What happened?’ and then finding a good use for newsprint.
In an e-mail to the entire staff, Ad Director Bea Lint wrote:
“Although you can’t see how much water was on the floor, everyone sprang into action by putting newsprint on the floor to stop it from migrating to the rest of the building - GREAT Thinking. Nothing got ruined due to their quick thinking.”
