NEW URINALS!
OK, this is pretty big news, considering we have waited for about 4 months for the installation of 6 new urinals. The previous set had caused numerous floods and other unhappy moments (including having to run before getting your feet wet). Just when we were about to go on strike because of lack of sanitary facilities, some workmen started disassembling the old ones. The whole department screamed with joy (well half of it anyway). But alas, it still lasted weeks before everything was in place. A team to demolish, a team to install new plumbing, a team to plaster, a team to put new tiles and finally a team to put the cherry on the cake: install the old urinals on their new “back-end business logic”. Ultra-cool automatic flushes with infrared eyes, all independently steered by not to high water pressure! The previous ones had been all 6 at once by means of a counter that counted heads passing by an eye, with water pressure high enough to blast away the wall of the neighboring women’s toilets.
Sorry I had to share this, but all the men here are filled with joy now. So much that some don’t even mind about the Urinal Etiquette any longer!
