Today, I put my previous post into action. As I opened the bathroom door, I was greeted by a slow, menacing, pool of still water, just waiting to creep on the carpet and ruin everyone’s day. I had to sullenly go back to my cubicle and call maintenance, and make some face saving joke about always being the one calling for bathroom leaks*
...I imagine all leaks starting like this...
Later on, just when I thought I had the rules all set for bathroom etiquette, my CEO, flipped the script on me. We randomly headed to the bathroom at the exact same time and began a conversation prior to reaching our bathroom destination. I was worried and intrigued as to how it wold play out. It went a little something like this:
CEO: Hey, its crazy about the shelves outside the bathroom, they’re so darn convenient
Me (as I place my cup on the shelf): Yeah, it is a convenient little shelf
CEO: I never know what to do with my cup when I enter the bathroom, as I feel these things shouldn’t mix
*we enter the bathroom*
Me (in my head): Your damn right they shouldn’t, but can we end this, I’m breaking all of my rules
CEO:………
And just like that, it was over. Either he reads my blog, or he knows the proper bathroom etiquette. I vote for the latter because as we approached the sink at precisely the same time, he picked up the conversation, right where we left off. I was impressed.
I promise to keep you updated on the bathroom hi-jinks that occur at my office.
*Just because it’s right, does NOT make it easy
