three days and counting

if you had asked me last week, i would have set the over/under for the acceptable amount of time for a turd to fester in the bowl of a stopped up toilet in a "class A" office building at about two hours.  that seems fairly reasonable for building management to get somebody in there to take care of the situation.  apparently, though, you should take the over.  if it was set at two DAYS, you should take the over - at least in the dump, so to speak, to which i commute daily.

i've stopped consuming liquids at work and i'm about ready to walk over to starbucks just to use the restroom.  don't ever let anybody try to tell you marine biology is a glamorous field.  i should consider myself lucky that we even get flush toilets.

PS.  this is not my company's fault.  we reported the floater on monday.  if you're in the position to make these decisions and are thinking of leasing office space from brookfield properties, i might reconsider if i were you.

[UPDATE: the offending commode was FINALLY dealt with at some point in the four hours between the writing of this post and when i left work.]
