We’ve had some labour unrest in our house these past few weeks.
One of the unions is threatening to walk off the job. The issue is toilet paper. The union claims that it is not being replaced when it runs out. It has filed a grievance saying that management and the other unions are not shouldering their share of the responsibility.
We reached a tentative agreement, but things are still iffy. The other unions have to vote on it. If they refuse, the first union will walk. And then all hell will break loose because that union handles all the cooking. He also turns off the smoke detector when it goes off.
If he walks, management (this typist) will take over the cooking. And when management cooks the smoke detector goes off. A lot. And management is too short to reach the smoke detector. Things could get ugly.

This could get very testy indeed. Essential services will fall apart and anarchy will prevail. Should be great!

Dick, do you have a bidet?
Yes Barbara, like someone close to me said, ” I hate it when I sit down, do my business then go to find the toilet paper only to find that I’m shit out of luck.
Beth, want the job?
Dale, I think your comment got lost in the chaos of yesterday…

No I don’t have one. I’ve considered it, but the affordable ones hook into the toilet and are COLD water only.
I think they are a good idea though, and you can just fire the non-performing unionized labourer.
