My mother used to pee in front of me and EW. Scarring.

Me too. I mean my mom, not yours. Once even she had her period, and I asked her about the bloody toilet paper in the toilet. She explained it to me in terms a five-year-old could understand. Still freaky, though.

eta:

I think I even close the door when I'm home, alone.

I don't. Sometimes when I'm sitting on the toilet, my cat comes in to the bathroom and goes into his litter box. It's cute.

I have, alas, been present for entirely too many of my dad's bodily functions, since he needs assistance when unwell or away from home. I don't know how I'd cope with the utter lack of privacy he has to endure.

I hear that, Matt. My grandfather was a quadraplegic, and literally had to be rolled over in order to take a crap for the last 10 years of his life. No wonder the poor guy was miserable.

No word yet on the files. Apparently there was an issue with them Friday in the office and IT was "unconcerned". Now there seems to be some concern. me=whatev.

Ugh msbelle. I hope they are recoverable.

Hey, msbelle, I don't suppose you have Vanessa's phone number?

nope. sorry.

they are definately recoverable, because we do a daily backup, but how much will be lost if we convert to Friday or Thursday's data (whatever is complete) is unknown.

again, me-enh.

Ah well.

but will you wait or use a stall to avoid it, if there aren't any spots free?

No, once the urinals have been alotted with space in between, then you start the filling in process. It's all a matter of choice. If you have no choice then it's okay to move in next to somebody.

Also, I am comfortable talking to somebody with the bathroom door open and peeing. Or vice versa. Crapping needs privacy, of course.

So maybe it's for the best that not a lot of work was done on Friday and yesterday, asked Pollyanna?
