This morning I got called in to cover a middle-school social studies teacher as her grandmother passed away right when she got to work.
So now I am teaching medieval history to 7th-graders for the entire week.
Do Arabic medieval history it's bonkers
We're actually starting off with the fall of the Roman empire and we're going to try to focus on getting the students educated on how medieval society functioned.
It's the second week of school, these kids don't want historical dates or the lineages of kings.
So we'll let them learn what it was like to be a serf.

On the gripping hand, you’ve been elected to not have to make coffee ever again!

Or at least have someone else be good at cleaning up the coffee from previous day.

Take a gander at how many vacation/leisure days they had in comparison to us today.
Oh this is good news. I'd been avoiding the one that just opened up near me because, well, Batali isn't a great person but 1) he's not the CEO anymore which I didn't realize until this article and 2) this news is pretty awesome.

Not quite on this level, but we recently got a new coffee maker at work that has a tank and spigot instead of pots, and the number of times I've tried to brew my tea with coffee instead of water because I just went for the first spigot I saw is... a lot higher than it should be
Toilet seat covers are the most overblown thing in my mind, short of immuno-compromised people, who frankly have a whole other swath of things to worry about more.

Well damn. I've goofed. My trainer asked me if I'm ready to take calls today because my attitude seems off.
I'm thinking of expressing to him how much I don't want to do collections in the hope that he might be able to move me somehow instead of telling me to quit.

What is the point of being alive if you don't at least try to do something remarkable? ~ Mario Novak
I never fear death or dyin', I only fear never trying.
You're willing to touch doorknobs that your coworkers use but not sit on their toilet seats?
Because, boy, do I have news for you about how little most of your disgusting coworkers probably wash their hands.
Whatever gave you that idea? I stalk coworkers and only enter through doorways they’ve opened for me. Either that or I use a disposable paper towel to manipulate door handles.
Anyway, I used the last of my scotch and went with Darth Waiter’s suggestion of setting myself on fire.

This is actually how British schools teach history and I think it’s pretty well done! Certainly more relevant and I was better able to retain knowledge that way.
We did a lot of social history and looking at how people actually lived.
Fuuuuuck I forgot to use a toilet seat cover and sat down for a second. Am I going to die?
How do I sterilize my ass?
Soap and warm water?
Tim, how would that even work, logistically?
The sink isn’t in the stall with me. I would have to do one of two things: either pull my pants up to get some kind of towel I could slather with soap and water and then go back to the stall to furiously scour my butt or I could walk out naked and just furiously scour my butt at the sink. The former wouldn’t work because I would infect my boxers and pants with whatever avian sex flu my coworkers have and the latter is no good due to pesky indecency and harassment statutes.
I’m trapped.
Can someone come save me? I don’t think there are any vents in here. Download a photo of me from Facebook and create a mask like in Mission Impossible and come break me out.

I didn't know there were people who actually use the toilet seat cover.
Just take some paper towels and dip it into the bowl and wipe down the seat like the rest of us, drez.
I used to work with a germophobe that kept a pretty tight lid on it but gave away two tells that I know of.
On one occasion, someone at a table with him accidentally reached out and touched his water glass before figuring out that it wasn't theirs. Just touched the sides. He freaked the fuck out. Like, got red in the face and started stammering and needed to get a new glass.
On one other occasion, something happened in the office one day that required a rapid response (maybe a fire alarm? I can't remember) and he was forced to leave the bathroom in a hurry. We all knew that when he went in there he took way longer than one would normally expect but, whatever, people poop at different paces. On this day though, the next person in discovered an impossibly intricate nest around the toilet seat, made of literally dozens of seat covers. I don't just mean a stack of seat covers. We're talking carefully woven together and around the seat.

On the flip side of that, I work with a guy who will regularly go take a shit while on a phone call.
But (and this is my favorite part), he doesn't flush. If you wander into the bathroom after one of his teleconference shits and say anything about it, he'll calmly explain that his headset doesn't have a mute button so obviously he can't flush the toilet or the people on the other end will hear, and he's not an animal.
Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust

I don't get that second thing. If you're taking that long anyways why not just pack a can of Lysol and actually disinfect it before you do your business? It'd be actually effective and possibly quicker.

I’ve been explicitly called out on my OCD and germaphobia by one of my coworker friends and after that I stopped giving a fuck about trying to hide it.
I’m not that annoying though. It’s mostly like opening a door with my hand in my coat pocket. Or overuse of hand sanitizer.
So my friend’s attempt to shame me just made it more blatant on my part.

I used to use Clorox wipes (I hate Lysol wipes - too foamy) like nobody’s business. But that developed into chemophobia, if that’s a thing?
Imagine being a germaphobe with a fear of cleansers.
Now, I use alcohol prep wipes which are tiny and annoying to use but provides the balance between adhering to my chemophobic and germaphobic tendencies without much fuss.

The worst is people who use the seat cover, then leave the cover on the seat for the next person to find
For some reason that's way worse to me than just not using a cover at all.
