MMeM, Vol.8 Issue 3

It sounded like we were going to have a hell of a time keeping women OUT.

Acouple of months ago there was an announcement at work that there was going to be some major work being done on all of 7-some Men’s restrooms. This would only be a story at work because as nosey men at work know, the women’s restrooms are like condos. They have a foyer we’ll call it with a counter, mirrors, sinks, and there’s even been rumors of chairs in the pre-restroom area. Then you can move onto the regular restroom, presumably. But, really that’s all assumption and hearse.

So, this news story said that crews of workers were going to move from floor to floor with each men’s room being shut down by security for the duration of the installation.

This installation was for storage and/or shelving in the men’s restrooms which sounded great but also sounded like maybe more than we needed. But hey, we weren’t gonna complain! Well, finally the day came when the big construction process moved through our floor and the men’s restroom was opened back up. The new storage/shelving was now ready to be revealed!

Many guys didn’t say anything because they knew nothing. They never read any “story” about construction closing down their restrooms. No surprise there. Others had a good chuckle and still others were thankful to have a “clean” place to set a coffee mug or maybe papers or a folder and a pen when heading to or from a meeting. Naturally, I viewed this as material. Interestingly, the original story is nowhere to be found on the IntrAnet any longer. Hmm.

The best part of this “construction” was that as the story had pointed out it took teams to erect. Look I’m no carpenter, but even I think I could put that shelf up with one hand while standing at the urinal.
