Car and Car, Oppressors at Large

First Dates

Dear Car,

I have a first date tonight with Steadman Sugg. Why do I want to fake sick or run away? Am I crazy??

Mammoth Brownies are ok my dear...

Dear Car,

Do not feel too badly about the 3x3 brownie that is sitting in your stomach. Did you know that things you eat on Monday's between 12-5pm don't count? This is the freebie period of the week, so looks like you slid in under the radar. Thank goodness huh??

Car, as were discussing earlier in email #348 of the day, why do exes have the power to rock your world in about 2 nano seconds? I hate that. So, this weekend we should come up with a plan to find the most gorgeous, heavy metal hating, anti black t-shirt man that we can find that I can slip a picture into his email box of the two of us gazing lovingly into each others eyes :)

Ready, set, GO! Off to my new life. Oh wait, I'm just off to run at the lake and then watch some bad TV probably :)

Largest brownie of all times

Dear Car,

On this grey and dreary afternoon I began to feel mightily hungry and when I did, I thought to myself, "What I should do is eat a healthy snack," like healthy people are always saying. Some fruit, or nuts. So what I did, was, I went across the street and bought a brownie that was roughly 3 x 3 feet, and not only was it huge - but it had little bits of chocolate cooked inside, adding to the ridiculous nature of the brownie. What I thought was, "I'll just have a moderate amount," but then I came back over here to my office, and I ate the entire thing.

I have a feeling it was about 764,864 calories that I just consumed. Besides the mammoth run I am going to go on tomorrow, in order to rid my body of the excess poundage I just put on, I have participated in some heavy-duty exercise activities today - the number one and most important being emailing you about 100 times. Typing as fast as we do takes energy, right? And energy = calories.

Workplace Bathrooms...a disgusting topic, do not read if you have a weak stomach

So I've been in the adult "workforce" for 5 years now, and there is a disturbing trend I have noticed about the state of women's bathrooms. My first job was at a law firm, and it was all women in the office, and we shared 2 bathrooms. I never encountered the problems here that I have at the next 2 places of employment.

After the law firm I worked at Biogen Idec for almost 3 years, its a Biotech company. It's large, brand new, and they spend a lot of money to make sure the place looks REALLY good. So we had a constant flurry of people cleaning our bathrooms twice a day to ensure that visitors were impressed.

BUT I cannot tell you how many times I walked into a stall to find one of 3 things: an unflushed toilet with just toilet paper in it, pee on the seat, or the worst of the 3, remnants of the last person left in the toilet bowl. I was constantly appalled and could not comprehend how an ALL-ADULT organization could have so many people who do not know the proper way to use a toilet. Weren't we all taught from toddler age to NOT leave a mess, to flush the toilet, and if you do splash on the seat, to CLEAN IT UP???

Well, after I left Biogen I took a job at another Pharmaceutical company, and I encounter the SAME things here. It's beyond comprehension to me, this is not the local Exxon station here people where the general public has an all access pass to do as they please to the toilets. I would think that highly educated people would have enough sense to have proper bathroom etiquette in the workplace right?

This has been bothering me for a few years now and I finally had to put my plea out there to please NOT PEE ON THE SEAT and to PLEASE FLUSH THE TOILET! Plus, I feel badly for the people who have to clean these bathrooms, I don't think they should have to put up with such grotesqueness!

That's my piece on the subject for now :) Happy Bathrooming!
