As I said before, we work in this wonderful, state-of-the-art new building now. Everything's nice and clean and sparkly. Everything is also very automated. Especially the bathrooms. Automatic toilets, automatic sinks, automatic hand dryers.
Not that I especially mind this automation, but I run into a little problem. You see, I stand to wipe. Does anyone else stand to wipe. The damn toilet always flushes when I stand to wipe, then I have to get it to flush again when I'm through. So, for the past four or five weeks, I've been doing this little "I'm finished peeing" dance in front of the sensor to make it flush, after it's already flushed.
But, lo and behold, I just found out the other day that there's a button you can press to make it flush. Imagine by surprise! No more "I'm finished peeing" dance. A wise woman down the hall filled me in on this little secret. I'm going to nominate her to win a lottery ticket during our next staff meeting. It's not exactly what people normally get nominated for, but, I think it's just as important.

That's exactly what I was going to tell you . . . there's a little button . . .
I'm going to nominate her in front of everyone.
well who hassn't felt like a dork waving one's hands beneath a faucet desperately trying to get the danged thing to understand that it needs to turn on only to find out that it is "old school" and you have to turn the knob that you just noticed was there all the while?
We have those toilets at the casino; there is one that flushes automatically, but not quite enough, so that you ALWAYS have to push the little button to make it flush the 2nd time, or else leave it looking like you didn't bother flushing at all.
You stand to wipe? Not that you are in the practice, but can't you just spread your legs?
I don't know...it's just a habit. I stand and spread.
It's the 26th
