A Warning Sign

I spent a lot of the summer working from home.  Things run better when there is an equal number of parents and children in the house.  The ratio needs to be 1:1 for peace to flourish.  The kids started back up with school 2 weeks ago and I returned to the Kokomo office and my corner cubicle.  I think I have mentioned previously that due to our workforce transformation policy, those of us on the 2nd floor were all required to move to the 1st floor resulting in many people working from home full time.  I was able to keep a cubicle but still had to make some adjustments.  One of these adjustments was the bathroom situation.  Upstairs there are (2) men’s restrooms.  One has (2) urinals and (3) stalls and the other just has (2) stalls.  For the most part there was no waiting.  I am not sure of the women’s restrooms and their stall count.  Downstairs however is a different story.  There are (2) men’s restrooms downstairs but between them (combined) there is only (1) urinal and (2) stalls.  This is still usually not a problem given the lower amount of people in the building.  The restrooms upstairs are available (for overflow seating if you will).  This is a good thing to have handy as I was greeted with this view when I entered the restroom downstairs with the lone urinal…

I can honestly say that I have never seen a sign above a urinal that started with “Beware!”  The rest of the sign reads…

dont_flush_sign

Flush w/ caution?  Wow, what an interesting choice of words!  Here is the sad thing though, I was greeted with this sign 11 days ago when I returned to the building but I took this picture today.  So the last part of the sign (“Problem reported”) seems to have had no effect.  I will have to keep you posted.
