I have no words....

"Good Morning,



As Lynn mentioned below I tried my best to try and work with our landlord to make other arrangements but was not successful. They are going to try and do there best to get our water back up by 11am this morning.



I do understand during this period some of us may need to take care of “business”. If you need to urinate feel free to use the rest rooms. We do have plenty of sanitizer gel around



If a bowel movement is necessary or you do not feel comfortable using the restrooms without water please do not suffer and see your supervisor.



We have a few options in which you would need to punch out because you will be leaving the premises. The first is to walk to the south end of our parking lot to our landlords building. They have offered to share their bathrooms with us. Your supervisors can direct you there. Another option is the gas station at the corner of 35th and Burnham or ElRays across the street form the gas station.



If you do not feel comfortable with any of the above options please see your supervisor and they will drive you over to Polco,



In the event of an emergency and you can not wait please do what is necessary and use the toilet. We can take care of the clean up afterwards. We have set aside some emergency water jugs to deal with this.



Sorry for the inconvenience and I hope to get through the morning without any problems."

    Woah. So you have to go to your supervisor and inform them that you have to poop?! And idk what I'm more shocked about...that you have to inform them, or that they're making you punch out for it when it's not your fault the bathrooms are broken.

    LoL well at least they tried to accommodate. . . my old work environment would just lock the bathrooms and not let anyone know what was going on or when it might be resolved. lol

    Will you be walking across the street on your own time in 3 inch suede pumps and blisters? This sounds like an incredibly interesting day for you.

    I found this part shocking: "They are going to try and do there best to get our water back up by 11am this morning. "

    If you hate your boss, now is the perfect time to leave him/her a little "present" in their office

    Generally I would say no to that. However, I suppose some may frown upon that type of activity.

    No, I'm pretty sure it isn't legal. I hope there is some sort of backup for the sprinklers. (?) But I don't think it's legal not to provide bathroom facilities.

    Now you know someone is going to miss this email before they decide to go take a crap.

    And emergency water jugs to take care of the clean up afterward? I'm not sure what kind of mess they are expecting to clean up... I would hope people wouldn't think, "Can't use the toilet, guess I'll *kitten* on the floor".
