Random Scandal Sheet for Sunday 5/22/16

What southern Florida is talking about this week:

Bathroom stuff.

No, not *that* bathroom stuff.  (That was yesterday.)

*This* bathroom stuff.  The front page of one of the Sunday sections (truth be told, it was a few Sundays back, but today's the day for the posting about it) included this news-worthy article entitled "When nature calls you and your boss at the same time."  I sh!t you not!

The "career" advice suggested that you pause and analyze the situation, using these questions to guide your actions:  "What do you have to take care of?  How badly do you have to go?  How well do you know your boss?"  And if nature's call was too strong for you to stop and pull out a flow chart to help you maneuver such a delicate situation AND you ended up eliminating waste together, then the best possible outcome might be "you and your boss may just begin to view each other as a little more human".

Lookit, I will take "oh no, my supervisor is in the stall next to me -- what do I do?" breaking news over ... let's say ... a terrorist attack ANY day of the week.  Transparently, it is also true that the only chance I have to worry about this since moving to being a remote workforce employee in 2010 is at the annual live meetings in Vegas (and what happens in Vegas bathrooms, stays in Vegas bathrooms).  But front page news?  Really??  Are bathroom scenarios really the only thing people want to discuss any more???
