I saw the writing on the bathroom wall that this job would be tough
I was at a client site for a meeting and saw this sign:
It’s not good when even the custodians are verbose. (And no, I’m not in the habit of taking pictures in bathrooms; I happened to have my cell phone with me, which has a camera.)
It reminded me of my job during high school at an electronics retailer: I told the warehouse supervisor that we could use more toasters. He responded that he’d take care of it as soon as he finished “procuring the end cap.” His name was Dante, however, so I figured maybe he was entitled to a little poetic license.
