OK, we’ve been back for a few days now (since late Saturday evening). I’m hoping to do some catch up blogging later today, also book group was last night, and I have a post about News About Peeing in a Bottle Instead of Taking a Bathroom Break I’m working on. Which will probably be link fu and next, but you never know.

My walking partner notes that on a TV show (probably more than one), someone on a stakeout wants to pee, and the other person on the stakeout hands over a water bottle. There was a truly awful, mean spirited road trip movie a year ago or so, where the _mother_ handed the young son a bottle, because she didn’t want to stop the van.

I mention this, because there is an undercover writer at Amazon story making the rounds about people so overworked that they aren’t able to take bathroom breaks. And they probably are! Altho good luck getting this administration to do any labor law enforcement. I say that they probably are creating a culture where people pee in bottles rather than pee in a urinal or a toilet, because it’s super common everywhere else. It would actually be strange if Amazon _didn’t_ have people peeing in bottles.

Gamers not wanting to be AFK, peeing in bottles

I would imagine — altho I could be wrong — that Amazon warehouses are drawing from the same pool of employees as these companies / gamers. Also, when I was a lot younger, I dated young men who routinely referred to Snapple bottles as pee bottles. So it isn’t like this is a new phenomenon.

I actually sort of wonder who the audience for a Shocking! People Peeing in Bottles! Story could possibly be. Is there actually any shock value left here? Who exactly is _that_ sheltered?

ETA: I found someone who was shocked! A man! A. is so adorably civilized.

I had a Dutch lesson! We walked the dogs. So nice to be back in the routine.

I walked with M.

R. and I went to Less Than Greater Than. I had started drinking at 4 p.m. with a Not Quite a Cosmo (I made one for the sitter, too), so I didn’t have as much as I might ordinarily have had. The Flipadelphia (egg drink) is yet another step on the path to, fine, I will learn how to make drinks with egg in them. The End of the Road was super weird and super awesome: 1:1:1 Laphroig, Chartreuse, Campari. We stopped at Colonial Liquors on the way home and got a lot of things, including Chartreuse (which is very expensive!). I’m going to make an End of the Road with Glen Rothes, and see how that is.

The kids went to Red Raven.
