As a 65yo, I have achieved a certain hard-earned wisdom that may have eluded you. I will share:
1) Just get up and go pee, it's not goin' away.
2) Start the fitted sheet at the hardest-to-reach corner.
3) If you get a cold drink, only to discover that you already had one, drink the coldest one first.
4) Work and feel shitty, or don't-work and don't feel shitty. Don't-work and feel shitty is a lousy choice.
5) Being weird is, in fact, a perfectly normal thing to be. *Everyone* does it.
@kingtor @GeePawHill holy crap I love that and I wish I had known that little rhyme when I worked in a student loan call center.
At one point we had an hour long meeting to discuss how often we are allowed to go pee on our shift, or how long that process should take. Someone spoke up to explain that whipping it out at a urinal is significantly faster than going into a stall to change a tampon, and none of us should be rushed through those processes as it’s important that we all wash our hands afterwards.
Then we all started talking about the different menstrual products until they decided they weren’t going to time our bathroom breaks anymore.
That little rhyme would have been faster and easier, I’m saving that in the memory bank for later, thank you!
