Corporate Toilet Paper

I work in Burlington in a large building with a bunch of floors - I'm not even sure how many - most are "forbidden" to us. I know on floors 2 and 3 there are a lot more "corporate" type people - people who definitely make more money than me, and can take a 20 minute break if they need to instead of my regulated 14 minutes and 59 seconds. Now I realize some of these people do hard jobs - sit at new computers (computers that don't flicker when someone uses an electric pencil sharpener behind you), have comfier chairs than we do, and don't have to actually speak to customers like we do. I'm sort of ok with these people getting more money than I do, they've clawed their way up to floor 3.

I am NOT ok however with what I discovered today: on floor 3, where there are none of us lowly customer service reps, they have....you won't believe this....THREE PLY TOILET PAPER!!! Do you know what we have? One ply!! I couldn't believe it. I still can't. What is so different about my bum that I don't deserve 3 ply? Maybe one day I will ask. Maybe in my exit interview when I can finally quit, and they ask what they can improve. I don't think I'm asking much. Even 2 ply. Why not spread out the plys? Two ply upstairs AND downstairs, instead of 3 up and 1 down.

Maybe I will bring up the battle of the ply's sooner. Maybe tomorrow, maybe not. Maybe for now I'll just keep that little piece of ply info in my back pocket, to whip out when I need it. We'll see.

Just fold it over and voila! 2-ply. Repeat for 4-ply! Be a radical - go for 8-ply! 16-ply?

Then you won't be able to "ply" it out of there! hehe Home made asphault.
