I need to clean the bathroom NOW.

This week at work has been pretty run of the mill. Lots of shipping customers, lots of printing customers have come in as per usual, but yesterday things picked up. There is a woman who comes in solely to use our restroom as a shower. Normally I would feel sorry for her. She is a very large woman, is in a wheelchair, and is crazy. However, the fact that when I walked into the bathroom after her, I literally had to swallow my own vomit makes me greatly dislike her. I walk in to our facilities, and am slapped in the face with a combination of wet dog, urine and armpit odor that smelled so horrid that I turned right back around and went up to my manager and commanded her to let me clean the bathroom. I didn't wait for an answer. I breathed through my mouth as I cleaned up water from the floor, cleaned sludge off of the toilet seat and as I picked up a urine soaked pad from off the floor. I was completely disgusted. How can people do this to a public restroom knowing that another human being has to clean up after them? How is that ok?

Then the day kind of got better as a schmoozing lawyer from California was printing something for his mother. He hugged me and whispered, "I am about to marry you and give you half. Do you understand me?"
Yes, I understand perfectly. I wanted to let myself believe it for a few seconds. Me, the 400 pound printing expert being swept up off my feet, and whisked away to the land of make believe where someone like that would actually ever propose to me. But, alas I can't allow myself such luxuries because I am me, and this is my life, and that is just how it is.

I found a scale at Bed Bath & Beyond that has a 440lb. capacity, so I was pretty happy about that. It's one more tool I need if I'm going to do this whole hog. I don't know if cutting my calorie consumption in half is enough to give me the results that I'm seeing but according to my new friend, I've lost 5 pounds in two days. We'll see if more logical numbers come out or if it's just toying with my emotions like my lawyer fiancee.
