The receptionist in charge of the bathroom key got laid off some months ago, so I now possess my personal bathroom key, which is a huge improvement in my work environment. But last weekend, somebody broke into our building. We had to change all the locks, including the lock to the door of the bathroom. I am pleased to report the toilet remains safe and secure from intruders.
Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall.
Quotation from William Shakespeare, Measure for Measure
When day broke, I used immediately to sweep my room out; and though I am by nature a lover of cleanliness, at that time I kept myself unusually spick and span. After sweeping up, I made my bed as daintily as I could, laying flowers upon it, which a Savoyard used to bring me nearly every morning. He had the care of the cistern and the casks, and also amused himself with carpentering; it was from him I stole the pincers which I used in order to draw out the nails from the holdfasts of the hinges.

I’m more likely to be told to come in out of the rain in the sense of my being oblivious to my surroundings…
(Thank God the toilet is safe – once again.)

I am thinking of Smashing Pumpkins now…Zero
Seraphine: lol! I can see you in the rain, Sera. But only for artistic considerations owing to being a Romantic…and an Artist. Catherine Zeta Jones would be jealous. But then, she’s not planning any escape from Michael Douglas (that I’m aware of). However if you hear that she is, you have my address. Oh, wait! You don’t. Well…point her in my direction and let’s hope Osmosis works.

This is genius , Sera
) You are an master of your work and fabulous ideas !
That’s a fabulously manic parrot in your bathroom. Is he part of the fixtures and fittings?
I wonder if it was the former receptionist needing a fresh roll of toilet paper and knowing just where they were kept? Or perhaps she just wanted to feel the security one more time.
Rain is good for your hair, and stuff. Besides, there’s a parrot in your shower.
Everything can be a nice story and bless all in good condition!! Great work!
What’s the parrot doing in the shower, lol.
Very good Sera!
Lucky you!
hehehe
Many kisses and have a great weekend!
I’m wondering if it was an inside job. Like, did the receptionist want her key back?
Spiritual cleanliness found in a shampoo bottle would be a hot seller, I suspect. & I was pleased as punch to read that your company’s toilet is safe as well. That was a cute snippet that paired well the mighty quotes you chose. I’ve been doing both: rising by sin and falling by virtue all of my life. And really need to spend some time with Shakespeare. I’ve avoided him most of my life. Olde English is not my friend…
With that, enjoy your weekend and your Sera doppelganger. ~h
Having the bathroom keys at work definitely means power (and not having to beg the receptionist at every break – been there, done that!).
