Just in case you didn't know already. And yes, it's time for more potty humor.
Sometimes I just don't get people. Not in the "wow, people are weird" sense, but in the "who the fuck called man the rational animal?" sense. At my urinal of choice stand I, when a compatriot male in need of relief joins me. At a separate urinal, you freak.
His first action? *To flush the urinal*. His final action? *To flush the urinal, a second time*.
I mean, there's cleanliness, and then there's having to piss into clean water. The whole goddamn point of a urinal is that it uses less water than a crapper. Flushing multiple times kinda breaks that principle. Really, what the fuck?
Though my favorite of late is the middle-aged white collar man in a law school building who moved to a stall as soon as I took up residency at an adjacent urinal. I even respected the Skip A Urinal Rule. Wanker.
And in other news, I'm freakishly tired of people assuming that it takes everyone about the same time to complete similar tasks. Modern business is based off of the opposite being true. We're going to college because different people are better or worse at different tasks. We're specializing, capitalizing on innate talents.
(This most immediately prompted by some vicious feedback to a bombed presentation that took some 20-30 hours of preparation, when I had to stack up against people doing easier projects to express, having two people instead of one, and possibly even having any amount of innate talent at communication. But there have been other things.)
One more week.
