Off subject, way off subject!
I was in the restroom at work yesterday. I know that this is not an unusual happening on a daily basis, and you are probably wondering why I am mentioning it, but contrary to popular belief I do have a point. Even if it is obscure!!
Anyway, I was in the WC Suite and this particular toilet seems to run a little slowly in its flushing ability. Sometimes you have to make certain that it does its job. I will stand at the sink washing my hands and keep an eye on it for this purpose.
As I watched the swirling water level get higher and closer to the edge of the bowl, I prepared myself for the possibility of having to quickly turn the water off behind the fixture to keep from an imminent flood. In the back of my mind I kept hearing the deep gravel voiced line of the evil Sith lord in the last Star Wars movie as he stated to a young Skywalker .... "Rise.."
The bowl however, did not succumb to the dark side.
I told you I had a point. Yeah it's obscure, I didn't claim I wasn't ever prone to fits of minor geekdom! And I finally saw this movie just the other weekend so it was fresh in my mind (no matter how hard I tried to block it out!)

Hello! So I might have lost the envelope your address so beautifully adorned. Before I wrote it down on anything non-throwawayable. Care to email it to me? (kladish(at)gmail(dot)com. Or to send a carrier pigeon?
Also: I hate workplace bathrooms. Especially the one to which you refer.
