The Cretin bathroom has four toilets: 2 urinals and 2 stalls. In the years past, people doing urinal-type activities in the stalls was not a problem: people flushed. This year, however, has been different. I noticed an unusual change: somebody was following the “if it’s yellow, let it mellow” policy. While this can “reduce your total household water usage by 20 - 25% if moderately applied” (source: 7th Generation), I sincerely doubt that the mystery mellower came from some water-starved desert area. Regardless, today I found out who was perpetrating this moderately smelly and unpleasant act.
It’s the kid who lives next to me!
I had long suspected, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt for over a month. That is, until yesterday, when I was shaving. My neighbor went in a stall that I know had clear toilet water, and came out. No sound of flushing. No floosh of hygenic satisfaction. I investigated. THE TOILET WATER WAS NO LONGER CLEAR. Fotunately, though, I did discover that he follows the second part of the old adage. That is, later in the day I was in the bathroom cleaning a dish, and he left a closed stall with a book in hand. I investigated. It was brown, and he had flushed it down.
Do I put up a sign staying “Please flush all types” or something?
FileZilla FTP - The FTP client I should have been using this whole time (ie 5 years with an outdated copy of WS_FTP).
I found out what my scheduling slash time management problem is.
1.) I need to organize my to-do lists into discrete blocks of time. This will allow me to actually get everything done.
2.) In order to help with part one: I need to reduce perfectionism. My problem has been thinking “I can’t do this to the N’th degree of perfection, so I’ll do something lower on the priority list” … this leads to a rough cycle of anger at myself for not completing tasks, and further reduction in productivity.
Self analysis is difficult yet necessary.
