Don't mind if I do...



I have a funny story I'd like to share about my little sister.  You guys would like her.  Another relative of mine who likes to dish the sarcasm. Anyway, she started a new job fairly recently as a preschool teacher.  She was really excited.

The first day initially went as she anticipated...introductions to her coworkers, learning where art supplies were, lesson plans, toy storage.  At one point early in her day, she realized she needed to use the restroom, but couldn't find a staff member because kids had started to arrive.  She roamed around the building until she finally located the women's restroom.  You know those restrooms at Starbucks? A room with a single toilet and sink?  It was like that....

She sat down on and spent a few minutes taking care of morning business.  You know, "coffee"..."morning"...I don't need to elaborate do I?  I'd hate to embarrass her.  But that's what she was doing.

As she stood up to flush and wash her hands, she happened to glance at the door to the bathroom.  She was mortified to learn that it had a window.  You see, she later learned that restroom was actually used for students...the window in the door so teachers could ensure the preschooler, likely learning how to use the potty, didn't need assistance.  We both guessed she was too overwhelmed being at her first day on the job to notice as she entered....

Regardless, she's fairly certain several of her fellow coworkers saw her sitting on her nest, but didn't say anything.  It was after all, her first day.  Probably wanted to cut her some slack.  Or something...

I'm sure she'll appreciate me sharing this story with the general public, but I couldn't resist.  And I know she'll being reading this...so let me also add how funny and glamorous she is...I love her...

Outta here...

  1. I was with a bunch of friends at a super-trendy bar in the super-trendy part of downtown. It was very dark, full of floor-to-ceiling mirrors and the part of the walls that were not covered in giant mirrors had a very detailed wallpaper with a repeating pattern.

    The mirrors were also full of nose and hand prints from people walking into them (dimly lights + alcohol + crazy mirror motif = more accidents than they probably care to remember).

    Anyway, after multiple rounds, I had to pee. The waiter took me to the bathroom and quickly left. I couldn't figure out where the hell the door was because the stupid mirror/dark wallpaper theme continued into the bathroom, but I didn't care because I spotted the toilet and really had to go. After I was finished, I felt my way around the bathroom trying to find the door only to discover it was open the entire time.

    And, due to the angles of all those freakin' mirrors, I discovered that I had peed in front of the entire bar.
