Dear PTBs:
So is this new policy of not providing toilet paper working out? Does it seem that people are taking fewer bathroom breaks?
First you tried giving us one-molecule-thick toilet paper, in the apparent theory that if we were sufficiently frustrated at the impossibility of pulling off more than a square-inch at a time, we might train ourselves not to go. I was pleased when you figured out that this resulted in longer bathroom trips and a mess that could cause a person to fall and have an actionable personal injury claim.
The two-molecule-thick paper is an improvement, thankfully. However, it works much better for us when you actually supply it. Three days ago we started going to other floors--who then ran out of paper the following day--and eventually scrounging around for unused napkins from lunch was a bit much.
Now, having supplied tp, it works much better when you actually put it in the dispensers. Chasing after a giant roll of toilet paper that has fallen on the floor and rolled away is only going to lengthen my bathroom stay until someone else walks in and I can ask her to fetch it for me and pass it under the door. It also wastes money, as I'm going to peel off the floor-germy outer inch or so before I find paper I'm psychologically comfortable with using.
If you would supply me with a key to the dispensers, I would be happy to put the paper in them. Unfortunately, you were apparently convinced that we would steal these giant rolls of paper if they could be pried from their dispensers; though how that notion works with the current Wild Kingdom scheme I am uncertain.
Perhaps you could upgrade our office chairs to portable loos, and then we never need to leave our desks. Install IV drips direct from the greasy spoon next door, and all will be perfect and efficient here amongst the Borg.
Much love,
Twelve of Four
ETA: apparently the usual guy is on vacation, and this mess is the replacement guy's fault. I noticed Juan wasn't around, since he usually cleans our loo when I am on my way out at the end of the day but hasn't been all week. The weird thing is that whoever was covering his rounds was replenishing the paper towels and cleaning out the trash. How thick do you have to be to not realize that people can tolerate trash and wet hands, but we need toilet paper?
