To the individual on the 6th floor …

who deems it necessary to make a beehive out of the toilet paper when using the restroom… STOP CLOGGING THE TOILET! ENOUGH ALREADY!

… that is all.

Sorry, my bum was burning and I dipped some toilet paper in the cool toilet water and sponge it for a bit.

Cheers.

*grin* Yes, yes I am sir. I do agree though. Why in (insert religous icon) name does it require half a roll to wipe your f***ing arse?!?

I’m telling ya… people are strange. Wiping with a hornet’s nest is just ridiculous.

One has to wonder what the heck people did about these types of problems before there were blogs.

We salute you Mr. “Blog about the facility problems at Work” Guy

LOL. Seriously though man. There is nothing worse than having one of “those days” when you really need to have a clear path to the facilities only to be slapped down by the inconsiderate actions of others. Reversing course and heading for the 7th floor was quite literally painful. I’m offended. hehe

I thought you were in IT over there at your company.

Any normal IT person would have installed an IP connected button switch in each stall on all floors (possibly in the floors under the urinals too). Those should all be connected to code that would dynamically generate a “Busy/Free” status for a website you should have coded.

I think Nagios has a plugin that would do the trick. Too bad you’re stuck with OpenView.

Extra points given for SMS interfaces (query status SMS sent, SMS returned with closest open units on preferred floors).

Double extra points given for attaching sound chips to the devices in the stalls for playing warning announcements when conditions warrant (VIP in need of bathroom on 7th floor, please wipe, wash and GTFO)

Triple extra points given for the previous item AND a door popper so that the door will open after a period of non-compliance with the announcement.

Do you accept the challenge?

Bill…that sounds like a challenge that maybe Travis needs to get right on. I am all for also maybe adding some fake legs under the stall with loud gas noises and grunts. Then all we need is the key and we will always have a crapper to share with each other. I will never quit you boy…never.

Okay – now I’m having flashbacks of the two guys I used to work with who would go to the bathroom together for their daily morning constitutional. Travis knows who I’m talking about but for privacy’s sake I’m not naming names. They actually invited me to join them in this daily ritual, which evidently was some type of honor because no one else in their crew had ever been ‘officially’ invited. It’s been more than ten years since that invitation was issued and I actually thought I’d gotten over it. After reading this I realize I probably still have a few unresolved issues and may need additional chemical therapy and possibly a few leads strapped to my brain to make me forget. Thanks Travis. I still love you dearly, but remember this years from now when I’m old, feeble and muttering gibberish at the top of my lungs in your living room while noisily filling my Depends.
