My first years as a public servant was as the "GSO" boy, lower than real APS', the ones who moved furniture, replaced light bulbs, looked after the car's in the car pool etc.
First building Benjamin Officers the roof ran into the fire stairwells and would produce an amazing waterfall down the inside of the building. Was the norm for heavy rain, only time I reported water in a fire stairwell was when we had a fairly powerful hose worth coming out from a light fitting.
Cameron offices, if it was raining when you came in, you grabbed 20-30 buckets and string. Just wait for the call on new leaks and then use the string to guide the water into the buckets. Looked like spider webs in some areas. The water proofing was better by the late 90's...
The buildings have since been pulled down with a only a few bits left for history. But first few weeks in my first "real" job I'm looking at 100+ liters a sec waterfall inside a building being told not to worry about it... was strange...
