I try not to rant about work

Because I'm thankful to have the job that I do have but sometimes it's just not that easy.

Two bones of contention from today:

1) *Warning: this rant contains dialogue which may be TMI - Too Much Information - for all readers. You've been warned. Read at your own discretion* Why is it too hard to do a "courtesy flush"? Sure, we've all had those moments when we have flushed and not all of 'whatever' goes down and we have to flush again. It's kinda embarrassing but so is crapping in a public washroom so really, is it not less embarrassing to flush it all away rather than leave some as a welcoming present for the next person to come? It's just common courtesy.

2) What is it with people and their signatures on emails? Must they truly be a reflection of ourselves? In our daily lives, are we not afforded enough freedom in our society to chose our clothing, our hair colour, our food, our speech, etc. that we don't need to personalize EVERYTHING we come in contact with just to prove that we are unique from the person who sits in the next fabric box beside us? Case in point - I just got an email with this "quote" at the end of it:

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

UGH!!! It must be FU Friday.
