Our thanks to the facilities personnel who have removed all one-ply toilet paper rolls and have graciously replaced it with two-ply rolls!

Did you notice?

Things are definitely looking up these days....

i thought this was just going to be an empty thread insinuating that i was paying lizard to post on a board.

 

[lizard]

well, there's that too

I dream of the day when there are moist wipes in every public bathroom.

 

[xfer]

haha gross but desirable!

We get protective paper toilet seat covers, nyah nyah, "provided by the management for your protection."

when in fact they are provided by the Goodwill custodial contract. ANOTHER MANAGEMENT LIE.

 

[Ominous Luminous]

of course paper isn't going to protect your body from fluids left on toilet seats, but whatever helps you go without fear.

exactly...I had to do some AIDs awareness training a few years ago, and one of our blue collar guys raised his hand and said, "well, we have a few man/wimmen bathrooms and what if there is minstrel flow on the turlet seat??"

 

[Ominous Luminous]

ha!

on a related note, HQ dictated to us which PDAs we could buy, we ordered the Treo 300. It arrived today and I've spent three hours loading software, synching it up with my Outlook, learning the features...and our lead just ran over and said, "hold your horses, HQ just called and says we can't use the Treo 300 after all!"

grrrrrrrrrrrr
