Paradise Potty
At work there are 9 woman who work in this building. Of those…one is on maternity leave and another is a technician so she is never in the building. There is one woman’s restroom for the building…and this restroom has four stalls (three normal stalls and one HUGE handicap stall). If you do the math….It means that as long as I have worked here there has never been a line…or a waiting at all to use the restroom.
This being said…there is a very interesting phenomenon that happens in our restroom. All users vie for the same stall—the handicap stall. It is very very spacious. I mean one could put a full-on love seat in the stall and still have plenty of room for a wheelchair bound person and the potty part…did I mention it is HUGE? This stall has the only window in the room way above it…allowing for the only natural light in the entire bathroom (because we are trying to conserve energy we don’t tend to turn the lights on—not that a potty-goer couldn’t…some do…like me). Other than that the potty looks like a much grander version of the others. Same standard toliet. Seat gaskets, toliet paper, trash bin, hand rail, and the same greenish walls and doors…same locking mechanism. Hook in the same place as in the other stalls.
You may be asking yourself, why then do all female workers in this building vie for the same coveted toilet stall? The answer is simple. The handicap stall is now the Paradise Potty. What do I mean??? Let me tell you. When you enter said stall and arrange the ass-gasket to your liking and then rest your bum on or near the toilet…you are not looking at blank wall in front of you…instead you are looking at a gorgeous poster of Bora-Bora, one of Moorea, one of a school of albacore, one of a serene lighthouse and one of a sea otter. It is paradise in a bathroom stall. If it didn’t look bizarre I would go potty with my camera and take a picture of it…but how weird would that be??? They would really start talking….”Amy had her digital camera in THE stall…and she actually took a picture…I mean I saw the flash and everything…what do you think she was doing in there???”
