Women's Room Roadblock

-
I can't get to the freaking paper towels because you are hogging the sinks and mirrors. If you were a big lesbian like me, you would know that your hair looks good because mullets are easy to maintain. Levi jeans,Doc Martins, Paul Mitchell Freeze and Shine - done and good to go.

Ok, kidding about the mullet part. Really.

*******Morning After Thoughts***********

So really, I'm usually not that bitchy about the whole bathroom thing. But this bathroom was small. And this woman was dolling herself up like she was entering a Miss America Pageant. So I stood to the side and behind her for at least a minute with wet hands because the paper towels were totally blocked. It was at that point that I just reached over, probably dripping water from my hands into her open pocketbook, and dried my hands on her pants. Shoot, I mean grabbed a towel. Ok, I feel better now.

One more thing - I originally titled this post Straight Women In The Bathroom which isn't fair. I love straight women. Most women are straight until they're not. So I apologize for stereotyping here. Because honestly, I've seen my share of lesbian bathroom primping as well.

Yeah, shame about the spinnach in your teeth, though.. even big lesbians should sometimes check in the mirror, eh?

Lol Shrinky. Next time I will not be so quick to judge. That's what I get for BWD - blogging while drinking. I'm changing the title of this post asap since I have to admit I've found the same situation in the ladies bars.

Haaaaaaaaaaa, GOTCHA'!!

And, I've just read your amendum (not sure that's the right word, but it looks good) - don't tell me you're joining the PC crowd now? Straights can take the stereo-typing, Lord knows, gays have had to live with it for long enough!

Hello. Just browsing blogs and I found yours. You are a riot! I had to laugh at this post. I feel your pain. A couple of times a week someone will come in the bathroom at work and I know they're putting makeup on. I can't see them from inside the stall, but I can hear the makeup sounds. You know, the sound of a lipstick tube being opened and then silence, then the cover being put back on. Makeup sounds. There are two sinks and these women always travel in pairs. Doesn't anyone put themselves together before they leave the house in the morning? Anyway, it drives me nuts, so when I read your post I just had to comment.

I blame the engineers who design the bathrooms like that and they're probably men (maybe, maybe not).

Rule #1 No mirror should be located in front of any sink.

Rule #2 If you think you need X bathroom stalls increase the number by 50% for the women's rest room.

Now Boarding Rows 1 Through 10. Is There Room For Your Carry On?

Here's an interesting texting typo I created last week: And if airline seats get any smaller, I can see this being an actual problem. Can you imagine? I'm sorry ma'am, but there is no way both of you can seat in one seat. You will have to purchase an additional ticket for "her". What would happen then? Would she want the window or middle seat? That's assuming she would even want to sit next to me. I mean, we are together 24/7 so she may want a little alone time, out in the open air, where she is free of any restraint. And what if she is chatty, flapping her lips the whole time? I'm not a big talker when I travel, preferring instead to bury my head in a magazine so I can take my mind off the flight and enjoy my Ativan. I imagine the conversation going as such: She:  I hate that bike seat at spin class. You have no idea what it's like. Me:  Spin class is only 50 minutes. You can handle it. I bought you padded shorts. Those weren't     ...

You Are Hereby Put On Official Notice

-
...that I am outta City Hall in three weeks. I am giving my notice at work on Monday, something I hate to do. I have been very worried about the economic climate and my continued status as a dependent contractor at my current organization. My position is funded until June, but with a freeze both on hiring and overtime and worsening conditions, I feel I need to get out while I can. Being a contractor affords me no unemployment insurance and if things continue as they are, I think jobs will be harder to come by as June nears. I have accepted a position at a University in the Boston area. The commute will still pretty much stink, but it is a 35 hour week and there is the opportunity to work remotely (i.e. from my dining room) one day a week. I am really looking forward to joining this organization and very excited to be working in higher ed. Giving my notice is going to be very tough. I have been with my current organization, as both a full time employee and a contractor, for over 8 years...
