I would recover a lot better if stupidity at work did not force me to walk stairs every time I needed to use a bathroom. The bathroom on our floor has been shut down for THREE days now-while the workmen run back and forth getting ice from the ice machine, talking at the top of their lungs all the time, and pounding randomly on stuff when they aren't moving furniture (how it can sound like they're dragging furniture around a BATHROOM with bolted fixtures is beyond me). Oh yes, and making a complete and total mess while they ensure the already nasty recirculated air becomes unbreathable.
Why? Because they've decided to take out the automatic, touchless towel dispensers they installed LESS than eight months ago and put in Dyson airblade hand dryers. These hand dryers are ridiculously loud-they sound like you're standing on the tarmac at an airport and they're disgusting! No, really, the cleaning people don't wipe them down, so there's all this nasty gray sludge collected in the bottom of the dryers and all the way down the sides. The best part of these hand dryers? The air comes out at such a high speed that when you stick your hands down in them they spray the water from your hands-which you are washing because you just used the BATHROOM-right into your face. I've tried to figure out the angle at which I must lean to avoid this and so far haven't found it. Either they're made for much taller people or they're considered a cost saving measure becuase in about 3 days no one's going to be using them.
I'm going to spend my weekend reading and writing and doing my best to recover from everything.
*sigh* At least I have Christmas presents to make.
