Dear So and So

[indysteel]

I'm glad you made it, or we wouldn't have gotten to see that fantastic photograph!

True, true!

P.S. Got your PM. I'll be putting the top in the mail in the next couple of days!

Indy, could you maybe ask building maintenance to put locks on the TP dispensers? A lot of places have those, and then at least you wouldn't have to deal with half-used rolls in the trash.

You must have good plumbing, anyway. It's a wonder the toilets don't back up.

Oh, she just throws all that TP away in the trash. I don't think she flushes any of it. I'll see about the locks though.

She most likely has some form of nasty OCD or phobia. Locking the paper up could cause her a lot of suffering, is it worth it?

[Biciclista]

it's taxpayer's money; she should bring her own TP!!

I doubt it. I keep going back to the simple fact that she probably needs professional help. While it bothers me that she's using taxpayer pai TP to "deal" with her issues, I don't think there's anything I can or arguably should do to intervene.

@Pax, there's nothing to stop her from bringing her own TP if she feels the need (and it definitely would create less waste if she didn't throw away whole rolls). I'm not sure that providing her an unlimited supply at public expense is a necessary accommodation....



Dear depression gods,

My body really needs a recovery day. Can you just let me do that please? I've already run more miles this month than I did in all of November.


Dear drivers in my county,

I've been back five days, and in that time two of you have killed cyclists and another one has gotten the word that you won't be prosecuted for killing a cyclist while driving drunk. Way to remind me where I am.

I guess with my work history I just see a person suffering and would have no desire to make her life more difficult. She is not hurting anyone and the argument of wasting taxpayer money seems a bit mean spirited. There are so many other, more emergent/painful/pressing, things in life to fret about.

We just look through different lenses on this topic.

Seriously? 20 posts about TP? Even if it cost $1.00/roll of TP, we are talking $250 or so over the course of a year. I suspect the 20 minutes or so each person has spent to talk/write about the subject while on company time adds up to way more waste than that. We all need to pick our battles. Just chalk it up to another amusing thing at work, shake your head, and move on.

I'm sorry you've been battling some depression (or at least that's what I'm inferring from your above). I hope the extra sunshine in Florida will help.

I'm sorry to hear that the state isn't improving its bicycle safety. Please be careful out there.

[Pax]

Speaking of FL sunshine, I'll be there for a week as of 12/26... can't WAIT!!!

I've never been to Destin, but it looks beautiful.
