That's actually pretty easy, since I do work at a hotel...

Aw, Norymie is jealous.

Nah. He just wants to get the room next door so he can drill a hole in the wall between.

Or there's that.

Given how fast my eyesight is fading since I hit 40, I may have to have a prescription hole...

Fading, or changing?

I'm experiencing this as well. I never thought a specific number like 40 could do so much to someone. But I'm fairly certain that a trip to the expensivtomitrist would fix any problems I might be having.

My nephew and his girlfriend were going to watch the movie Gone Girl and we sat down with them.

Anyone else seen this?

Thoughts?

to my knowledge I have not seen somebody sit down with his or her nephew at the movies, but I'm sure that I've probably seen it happenwithout realizing that it was happening.

as for my thoughts, I don't really see anything wrong with that.

I got to Ski School at 0900 yesterday.

I taught until the afternoon. I don't teach regular lessons anymore, I run a program that's basically like Day Camp on Snowboards. There's a family that's been coming for three years. The parents have threatened to move me into their house several times. It's nice when people are happy to see you.

Anyway, I started Patrol at 1600.

I think it was about 1800 when I went outside, put my foot in my binding, looked up at the giant speaker blaring in my face, and said,

"Aw, damn. I want the Christmas music back."

At lunch the kids from Ski School were talking about how we kept hearing Gangnam Style all day every day a few years ago. I'd even take that instead.

So, I've been giving the hand-washing thing some time to stew and percolate and I've been looking at my habits and the habits of others and giving it a lot of thought.

If you think not washing after every bathroom trip is disgusting, I have a few questions.

Is it more or less vile than the guys I see who make an effort to go to the sink and do everything from rub their soapless hands under the water to just letting the water run over their hands, but fail to do anything that could be actually construed as washing?

When visiting the facilities for urination, or anything else, do you leave your pants undone (and/or around your ankles) until you have washed your hands? If not, haven't you infected your pants, including buttons/zippers, and anything/everything you've touched in the whole process?

Do you flush using your hand or an elbow or foot?

After washing, how do you turn off the faucet?

When exiting the room, how do you handle the door?

How do you live?

Apparently at the houses of the parents of kids that he teaches how to snowboard, until they see him washing at the kitchen sink with his pants around his ankles and dancing Gangnam style. Then he's homeless again, and refers to his shopping cart as "the girl".

Just wash your nasty-ass hands, beardo!


(If you don't have a beard, you should grow one, and wear those John Lennon glasses.)

That's better than nothing.

Zipper down, willie over the underwear waistband works for me with no mess.
As most facilities now use the sensors, the issue of touching surfaces is nearly moot, though if necessary I flush with feet.

Again, the proliferation of sensors makes this largely moot, but a paper towel works well when needed.

Same paper towel. If not available, elbow or feet.

Oh, and I know a first hand witness who will attest to the fact that Robert Downey Jr. pees at urinal with both hands behind his head while swaying and whistling.
