Yeah. I have a suggestion. Shorter work days and shorter work weeks, at the same salary. Yeah, ok, reading the flyer on the stall wall it is lol.

Corporate culture is toxic everywhere. I don't know about your place, but where I work Engineers are absolutely the ultimate authority when something needs to be done. Most of the time we're treated like cattle. Actually, most cattle have a dog to play with and get milked daily...

Actually my place isn't bad. I am mostly happy. I like my immediate location, but once outside of it, everyone is just a number, a cog in a wheel of cogs in thousands of wheels of hundreds of thousands of employees. Sometimes I miss the small business feeling, but I like the large business pay, so i have found a good compromise. However not as good as it was. About 6 years ago, a lot of corporate restructuring, mass layoffs. It seems to be stable, but it mostly killed the family vibe. From 100s of employees with many years to a handful that remember the old days still standing. We don't have the weekend boat trips, everyone attending everyone elses wedding. Hell, they hosted my baby shower. It is different now. the corporate office is actually involved, almost no one has a local supervisor, but it is still a pretty good place. I am happy to work there, and it is getting more stable, But yeah, in the end, just an employee number.
 
No flyers in the bathroom for us. But we now have a morale team. The problem is that most of the things they want to do to improve morale just seem to annoy me (and many kind of just roll their eyes at some of the efforts). I know they mean well, but perhaps just treating us with respect, look for growth opportunities, etc. it would go much further than the lame rah rah activities they propose.
Now if they had flyers with entertaining topics, that could help pass the time in the bathroom (or do what I do and just surf Lit).
 
so, I am curious if anyone else's company does this, or just mine. They hang fliers on the inside of bathroom stalls. So, when you sit on the toilet, you are greeted with things like hurricane preparedness tips, information on who took a course on something, information such as teamwork makes the dreamwork. the information is changed once or twice a month. It just changed introducing namaste november and we are invited to bring our yoga mats on our lunch break and do beginner yoga with our coworkers instead of oh.... having lunch. They plan to teach us how to breathe. So I am sitting on the toilet, learning about my company offering to teach me how to breathe on my lunch break.

So, is this weird, I think it is a little weird, or is my normal meter broken again? Lunch room signs seem normal, bathroom stall signs weird, right?

Like old people's underwear, it depends..... a very common practice in the military ..... repetition brings learning ;)

We regularly get public service stuff... like remembering to wash your hands... and that the company pays for the flu vaccine if we want it... my last company used to often use them to warn us to protect against security breeches...

They are common place in public bathrooms here and are generally advertising space, often tied in with being in a ladies loo - I thought the charity one highlighting the number of girls that miss school because they couldn’t afford sanitary protection particularly effective as you’re sat on the loo...

I’ve not yet encountered a sign telling how to use the loo but they are out there, it’s not just Swansea Uni...

I don't think its necessarily all about company size. Some of it is attitude brought on by a general change in society. When my company was formed the plant was nearly abandoned. The investors promised us a future, so we worked like beavers: dedication sprung up, pride. We made the company successful, and were rewarded. I daresay we were even valued. Then people got complacent because we'd slain all the dragons. Corporate culture is now very fractured.

Sorry, wrong place for a rant. We're here for the boobies.

"Please ensure a Proper Flush" appears a lot in older stalls without automatic flushers.

I'm going to put "Advertising on bathroom stall doors" in as a suggestion. Maybe they could post cafeteria menu...

hum, maybe give the morale team advice on bathroom flyers

Can I offer my tutorial services to remedy that? :devil:
maybe but I'd ask like tomorrow instead

haha. well that is an interesting military tidbit.

hand washing, I get. And we do not have bathroom instructional sign, but yes, my week long course on doing business with americans did have a section on restroom usage and etiquette lol. And yes, it covered everything from what is a urinal and how to use them, urinal eye contact, to what is toilet paper and how to use it, not standing on toilet seat, not using bowl water to wash anything, not using urinal water to wash anything, hand washing in sinks, not vomiting in sinks, not urinating in sinks or floor drains.

I thought it was hysterical, but actually, it was probably very informative to many on the conference. I'd be staring at some of their bathrooms, like no, just no. Alas, the one thing they didn't mention was holding telephone conversations in bathroom stalls. That always makes me uncomfortable, like you feel bad for peeing or flushing type deal. I mind it less when it is like a fast food restaurant and an employee, or walmart and employee, or when my building had a call center. Those jobs are so restrictive and time regulated that the employees often have no choice to multitask, but otherwise, it just is uncomfortable, ya know.

um corporate culture and boobies can share air space....oh wait.

I have never seen a please ensure proper flush sigh either. Sometimes in public places I find really funny graffiti though.

so you have a cafeteria. our bigger locations do, I have always been a bit jealous of that.
 
Well happy Wednesday.

I was playing with doing something for the alphabet thread (letter H this week), hands and hair on hips was were I went. anyway, here are a couple

happy humpday.

I’m thinking maybe this could lead to a game of Simon Says.
Simon Says put your hands on your hips.
Simon says put your hands on your boobs.
And Simon Says doesn’t mean we only keep hands/touch only our own body parts.
This is followed by a spirited game of naked twister.
All that being said, very classy pics. I especially like the side boob view.
 
And for a pointless ramble, Facebook has made me question my sanity for a bit, and want to adopt a kitten or puppy lol.

So last night, I went to facebook, and it did that thing where it shows you what you posted years ago. Well, it should me one of my pregnant, big as a house pictures (my son was born this month). So I got a little nostalgic and went forward from there, to where I was seeing the baby pictures. Awww, he was so cute. Then comes that moment of insanity, where I think "aw, I want another baby". At least the other parts of my brain are not completely wackadoo, and are all "bitch, your are forty fucking one years old, you don't want a baby, you want a fucking grand baby, go get a fucking puppy." Kid has actually wanted a puppy for a while but ugh their path of destruction is so great. so thinking get a kitten. Then I went to sleep, and damn if I didn't dream I was pregnant and having another kid. WTF. And now I am realistically debating the puppy in my head. See, our dog is old. She is in good health, but has well exceeded her life expectancy for her breed (she is a black lab, about 15). Bringing another dog in while she is still here might help them learn what it means to be a dog in our house. But with the kid, cats, chickens, and baby chicks, I can't just bring in a dog. Yes, I could easily find an adult dog that would be good with kids and cats. The chickens are the problem. We got this dog long ago before the chickens and kid, and she was a young adult, but we also had an asshole goose. So not only did she get scolded for antagonizing the goose, she also got bit in the face or ass by the goose if she so much as sniffed the goose. Chickens, especially the chicks, are weak and pure prey animals. I can't imagine introducing a canine type predator into this mix, unless it was a baby. But puppies are so destructive. But when our dog dies, we will want another dog. it might be a lot easier already having a dog that behaves well for the next dog to learn from. but so much chewing over everything in the house, but kid so wants a puppy (who will play So I think I might be looking for a puppy for kids birthday or christmas, but I so don't want to deal with puppy chewing. Dogs are awesome, puppies are more destructive than kids.

damn you facebook, I was happily ignoring the problem of what to do when our dog dies, and now it seems that I can't.

Well that sounds like way more fun than Simon Says games that I have played.

Really liked the pictures, but I loved the puppy ramble!!! :rose::rose::rose:
 
I will say social media did bring me some laughs as well. Kidz Bop Karen finally made it to my feed (yeah I am behind on my feed). hahahaha. But the question becomes, is she just a typical "Karen" type who feels it is ok to force her way into vehicles of people who's driving she feels impedes hers, but then acts insane in order to guilt them into not calling the police, or did having kids and spending hours listening to kidz bop break what small tangible hold to the real world that she had left and she is just now the Simpson's crazy cat lady, except with cars rather than pedestrians. Tough call, I mean she had those crazy eyes down. omg, I can only imagine how bad her husband's friends are teasing him (Well, I would)... in case you are even further behind on pointless viral crazy people.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBspygDA8Vo

but hey, it wasn't Florida woman this time.
 
I suddenly realized I approve of the letter H.

Bite the bullet. Get the puppy. Here is why:

1. You're right, having the older dog to socialize the puppy will make a big difference.
2. Something is going to eat a few chicks, sooner or later. By being raised around chicks, you'll have a much better change of training that out of the dog.
3. Puppies can be a pain in the ass, but relatively speaking, rather small. It also give you the change to train the kid to be a puppy owner.
4. Shock collars all around! (Oh wait, that one might have nothing to do with puppies. Never mind.)

Ok, I need a stiff drink after watching that. I feel for her children. Seriously, I need a Valium after listening to her insane rant.
You may be having weird dreams about being pregnant and getting a new dog, but mine will now be filled with wackos coming after me like a crazed homicidal maniac.
 
Always so nice to see your pictures! Happy hump day

Thank you


It’s a very handy bum bum.

It is actually

Yeah, letter H is OK, not like that asshole X.

Hey, I am still sitting here at 0 chicken deaths and plan to keep it that way, damn it. And i would likely end up with another Lab, so medium sized pain in the ass puppy. Great dogs though.

But yes, i am seriously considering.

Haha, thank me for that in the morning

Really really... if you don't believe me. :D

Ok, i guess i believe you. The question is then what?
