Compromising admissions [s]

Dear Miss Manners,

Say you're at work and, er, laying cable - so to speak. Then, hypothetically, the [insert business unit] manager walks in and takes a nearby stall. You know who it is because he's talking on the phone. But you're all done, so you...
  1. Flush and go knowing full well the associate he's talking to will become immediately aware of his locale.
  2. Be courteous to him and discourteous to the next person in your stall.
  3. Hang around until the conversation is over.
You might say he's as culpable for the fallout of his conversation venue as a driver is for bumpering someone while talking on their cell. But who really wants to adversely affect the operation of their company nowadays?



The mirrors add light and space to the bathrooms. I can get away with the panels for the sides of the upstairs bathroom and all of the downstairs. I shudder to think of how much a custom 5' x 3' is going to run me for the main, upstairs piece.

Also shown is the untrimmed switchage. A big feather in my cap is knocking the switch count from four to one (but really zero since the light and fan are on motion). A black eye is the annoying drywall work needed to cover the unused box components and the wire spanning them to connect the light and fan leads.



Another column will be good once I find my drywall anchors. The frameless door can be seen in this one.



I yanked the door to the storage nook in the media room. Then sent the electrical from under the tv to said nook. The end result should be clean stowage of the cable box, xbox, wii, and perhaps a dvd cart.

Rebroadcast without expressed, written consent:
  • Never mind. Found yer seat. I'm booking 13B, although one usually does not want to sit in aisle 13...
  • I will never speak Singaporean to you! Never. Even if I were pissed drunk.
  • I'm pretty sure I'm the only one out of the 4 of us that can get hammered off of 8 tasters.
  • And you'd best not be moving the bear skin rug. It really ties the room together.
  • Oh, and there's a Sephora in Omaha!

Another option:

4. Fart loudly, relish the ensuing silence, then flush, wash hands, and laugh maniacally whilst running out of the bathroom (taking care to sound nothing like yourself).

what do you have against medicine cabinets? and are the stairs really so low that you can t have the cables pop out behind the tv?

James you are a horrible, horrible person.

Perhaps it's because I don't ever have medicine, maybe it's because I don't brush my teeth, but I've always found such cabinetry superfluous.

The stairs are lower than the tv, yes. There is a small space between the walls, but it's boxed in by studs on all sides. So routing the wires there will be challenging.

this seems like your time to shine, cause we all know how you like to be boxed in by studs.

you can t pop the wires into the wine cellar and then back through between the studs?
