woes of the day

an unfortunate discovery today. clearly the consumption of coffee, while having the desired of effect of shocking the system into a false sense of alertness, has certain drawbacks. we'll disregard the withdrawal headaches and crankiness for now and focus on a certain diuretic effect. the delicate pounding of the bladder. the incessant call of the porceline gods. all leading to adventures down the hall in the men's room.
now, i have no complaints about the sanitation abilities of our local custodians. in fact, i'm damned pleased by it. the tiles on the walls gleam with a reflective quality. were i the vain type i might admire my coif as i released my post liver filtered coffee.
i happen to be an observer. little things, like having lunch in the cafeteria with some co-workers and noticing that our IT tech just came in and grabbed an armful of coffee packets. everyone else saw him and probably caught that he had just pilfered the coffee stash, enough so that he was dropping packets as he went, but it didn't register until i asked them if i had seen what i saw. where am i leading you with this? well, if you'll but grace me with a few more moments i will tell you.
and see, here it is. while reflecting and releasing i happened to notice the small crack in the wall between the urinal and the stall wall. and through this crack i saw.....crack. it was an unpleasant crack. it was crack with back. and the worst thing was, i knew.....i knew what was in that crack.
please reread line 1.
