Since the Shitshow makes us fill out a timecard, I normally don't leave the Shitshow campus at lunch. Taking an offsite lunch hour just means I have to stay at work an hour longer – not fun. So I usually take a 15min lunch at the cafeteria, despite the fact that it gives me diarrhea about once a week. I figure it's worth the pain if it means I can leave earlier.
But the other day, I actually decided to meet up with some friends for an offsite lunch. It was the first time in a long time. It was about 11:45am when I realized we were supposed to meet at noon. So I quickly lock my workstation, grab my keys, and walk towards the exit. Just as I am walking out, I realize that I need to go to the restroom. Could I hold it? Yeah, I probably could. So I did.
I show up at our meeting place, this lousy little Indian restaurant where the stench of curry could be smelled from the parking lot. I greet my friends and order my food, when I realize I'm not gonna be able to hold my bowels for another hour. I needed to go to the restroom after all. Now a cheap Indian restaurant is probably not the most desirable place to go to the restroom, as you can imagine. I was hoping to hold it until I got back to work. But when you gotta go, you gotta go.
To my surprise, as bad as that restroom was, it was ten times better than the bathrooms at the Shitshow: 1) it had a lock 2) none of the toilets were clogged 3) the seat wasn't warm from the previous occupant 4) the floors weren't wet and sticky. I don't know what I was so worried about. I guess I has just forgotten how gross the bathrooms at work really are. For those of you who don't know, here's a reminder: http://www.throwing-rocks.com/2010/09/assembly-line-of-shit.html
Because I'd rather use the restrooms at a hole-in-the-wall restaurant than at my own workplace, I throw rocks.
