I have a lot of paperwork-type stuff to do, but I get derailed by constant minutia. (That can’t be how you spell minutia. I’ll be darned. It is. First try.)
This morning, not an hour into work, yet another paper towel dispenser fell off the wall. Our whole church, school and CDC was outfitted with different paper towel dispensers that use a different type of paper roll that is much less expensive than the previous type, but I was annoyed that all the old dispensers were thrown away (at the direction of our paper product provider) and that these new towel dispensers are not as robust. They are put in the anchors of the old dispensers, which have been weakened by the transfer, and this is the second one that has fallen off the wall.
I ‘Laurened’ the situation by putting some scrap wood into studs and hanging the paper towel on that and now it is ugly, but it ain’t fallin’ down.

These new dispensers also do not tear well. So you end up pulling out more paper towels than you need.

The toilet paper isn’t even perforated. It always rips down the middle for me, leaving me with two thin party streamers. Back in the good ol’ days things were so much better and we had plastic staws (not in bathrooms).

I guess being distracted by things that need to be done at work is better than being distracted by… say… Bejeweled on your phone (not that I know anything about that)

Isn’t technological advancement a great thing? Grrrr.
