Office Etiquite Vol. 1

So in my position in "The Firm" I work in an office environment with many other people. We all have to share space in every situation. There are a few things that really get to me though. I wanted to take a brief moment to discuss one of the things that frustrates me about sharing space. Fist Victim, The Bathroom.

Now, we all have routines that we tend to make for ourselves. Perhaps its a specific morning or after lunch ritual that we take part in that helps preserve our sanity. Let's face it, man was not intended to spend his life in a cubicle, so the daily routines that we create for ourselves are our last ditch effort to preserve our sanity in the given environment.

Bathroom etiquette is something that we could all benefit from having a brief lesson on when we begin work at an office. The concept of a "courtesy flush" should not be overlooked as one way to add value to your bathroom routine. Also of note is the addition of a news paper via a vie The Wallstreet Journal within your stall. If you have that amount of time to commit to a bathroom visit, see your manager...im sure they can come up with more for you to do!

Lastly, those sinners who deem it appropriate to attempt to flood the counter top with water they gleaned from the tap they most likey used as a public fountain; god forbid they use it to wash their hands. But I digress...why is it necessary to douse the counter tops with water as we exit the restroom. There are no plants on the counter top...thus no need or water on the counter. So seriously...wash your hands....wring as you see fit...the use a hand towel to finish the job.

This is not science folks.
