FIRST OF ALL, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIFF! You’re Twenty! WOO HOO! You better start buying some anti-aging cream, honey!

So Week One has come and gone. So far, I have to say that it going pretty well, I say the co-workers are quite quiet, however they are generally very nice. The intimidating bosses aren?t so intimidating anymore, so I?m happy about that. It?s casual Fridays today, however, I?m surprise how ?casual? people look around here. Everyone?s here with their tight Club Monaco denim with complementary shirt (the young one?s at least)?which looks quite nice I might add. I can?t wait to look sexy in ‘office’ denim too, but I won?t do it quite yet?maybe in a few weeks?until I?ve really settled in with the office culture.

Picture of me in my Waterloo student ghetto in my ghetto toilet.

Yes, I enjoy taking a dump with my jeans up.

On another note, I have a small rant today: why do men persist to read when they?re taking a dump? It wasn?t that serious back when I was working in Waterloo, but it is pretty acute here. Surely, it might not be the most entertaining times during the period when your behind on a dirty toilet seat, but please, for the love of Peter, don?t read. I find it really distasteful.

Am I overreacting about this? I?d love your input. C?mon, do women do this in the bathroom too, or is this predominately a male activity? (Dirty thought just came to my head). It?s worse when I see my seniors come out of the stalls with the Star sports section in their hands. I don?t know, but I would be highly embarrassed. He just smiled back at me mildly, placed the newspapers back in the newspaper bin and back to his desk. Remind me not to touch the Star sports section.

Has reading on the toilet become the next big thing in office leisure? Perhaps the new yoga and pilates for the workplace? Hmmmm….

What is worse is those to decide to leave newspapers cluttering in the stalls. It looks awful. What if there are clients and visitors in the office? What would they think when they see this?

Is this what our world has come to? Do we need to be entertained or to have to be desperately doing something at every hour of the day? Or is bathroom leisure reading just a good way to ?legitimately? slack off? Questions, questions. Questions I?d like answered. I?d say that reading is a good thing, whether you?re catching up on current events or reading an exciting piece of literature, there are great places to read?let?s just avoid the restrooms. AIYA! For all the toilet bookworms out there, please. Can?t we just do our business in peace and tranquility?
