And I thought the signs we have at work were autocratic e.g. A study about putting the lid down before flushing so bacteria is not aerosoled around the room, and a sign about Washing Hands Killing Germs, but I can’t imagine they would send a flash message to us saying a sanitary pad was in the loo. Surely they could find a better way of pointing out the problem.

That actually happened at my workplace. The manager yelled, “Okay, who left their used maxi pad in the toilet?”

How do they know it was a woman who left it behind?

Dear lord! I need one of those signs for my loos at work as well. Seriously, my staff have NO IDEA how to dispose of pads. It’s GROSS.

Good luck with the job.

Doesn’t sound as though it can get worse!

I can absolutely relate to what you are going through, and please take this in the spirit in which it is intended, friendly advice. I was in a similar position as you last year where my stress levels at work got so bad that my doctor ordered me to quit. For years I put up with the same crap, and in the end despite making good money my blood pressure went in just one year from low to dangerously high, I suffered daily migraine, and my stomach was so bad I could not eat Monday-Friday. It was accumulative over years, but it left my health a wreck. I was put on stress leave last May and I won’t be going back. We had our funny moments too, but overall the bad outweighed the good. Sometimes a job is not worth it.

I also wanted to thank you for setting up the BAM blogroll, I just ranted about auto music, videos last week! When I found your page I thought finally, this is too cool!

Hope you have a better next week!

Cheers from Toronto!

I think this is the first time I’ve ever cried laughing so hard over a blog posting lol. Thanks for sharing! I had to pass your link around to a few friends at work to share this story. Unbelievable!

Wow. That is incredible. I don’t know which is worse … someone who can’t properly dispose of a sanitary pad or a manager who thinks nothing of broadcasting it to an entire office.

What a place to work, why do you think that is the only place for your to work? only because it is an english envirement?
Get out there…and find yourself a new job.
So you might have an accent when you speak dutch, so do i in my english…and i don’t care.
