One More Thing About the TP

What a week! Our busy season is officially upon us at work and the loss of my entire mind and sanity...extremely probable.

Because of this, the level of deep thoughts from my mind...minimal. The level of totally chaotic ramblings....well, expect it.

So today I had another toilet paper observation to tack onto the previous discussions found somewhere in a post below that I'm entirely too tired to link at this moment.

I think Kristin was the one who left a comment about how the work bathrooms sometimes put in the TP so it comes out the wrong way. And today I made the following additional observation about work TP. The size of a full roll of work TP is similar to that of a car's tire. I guess they don't want to change it except every six months or so? I'm not sure. Anyway, the problem is that when the roll is full and you pull on it, it breaks off, leaving you with about an inch of TP...so you try again...and again...and again...and after while, you realize you have this fist full of TP shreds and the tire is still firmly affixed to the wall....because the TP is half-ply! It can't support its own weight until it's time to change the roll!

It is a very sad point, I do realize, that after an entire week of having said nothing other than chatter of Idol travesties...all I have to talk about now is toilet paper.

To that I just say, TGIF.

I've often thought that you can tell what a corporation thinks of its employees or customers by the quality of the TP it provides in its restrooms. An organization reveals its good-heartedness with 2-ply embossed TP.

This is an excellent point you make. I suppose there's reason to be thankful we're not dealing with magazine squares??
