So long story short, the building burst a coolant pipe and dumped 40-50 gallons of antifreeze right in my office. Destroyed my desk (and most of what was on it), 30+ monitors, several printers, at least 3 fax machines, and an unknown amount of other stuff that has been sent out to be cleaned and possibly recovered.
This includes my work PC (which I had just gotten to where I wanted after upgrading to Windows 7, dangit!), radio, two books I had in my bag, my PS Vita, and my 3DS. I have hopes of recovering all but the books (soaked, total loss), radio (right under the deluge, and a wood casing), and maybe the PC (also heavily hit, but metal and no up-faced vents) once they all come back from cleaning.
They also evacuated the building until it got cleaned up, and ended up sending everyone home early. The cleanup company that was called is doing a good job, and got a good amount of the mess up, but is concerned about the chemicals seeping into the concrete under our carpet.
On the upside, the only office they had open for me to move into was a corner office, so I went from no windows to four...temporarily at least.
