The toilet in the middle stall in the women's washroom on my floor appears to have been detached from its plumbing and moved a foot to the left, or so a look over the wall of the adjoining stall tells me.

That's not the weird thing, though. The weird thing: it looks like it still has water in it.

I don't know if this has anything to do with the large wet area running the length of the corridor or the smell of organic solvents or the fact that the office opposite the washroom has had its door open all day. I assume so, but what do I know?

It's all very strange.

Anyway, I have just completed a large task and I'm going to leave the office. I could start something else, but then I'd just stay until 7 and you know how that goes.

Freedom!

that's not a toilet. no.....it's actually a wormhole hidden in the women's bathroom. apparently the ancients got tired of the regular stargate configuration.

in addition to this they had a request from a very small race of aliens with pointed ears who needed a portable version that went with any and all decor. hence the simple stately design of that particular gate.

If you unhook a conventional toilet with a "S" drain, the water will stay in. More or less. Usual procedure is to shut off water, flush until tank is as empty as it'll get, and either bail remainder into sink, or move toilet and bail remainder into hole. If it ain't going far, then there's probably no reason to bail.

Could've been a leak in the tank, or water line, or maybe around the drain.

*smacks forehead for not remembering/noticing the drain is on the back, not the bottom*

Whatever it was, the plumber's here now -- hallelujah!
