Rule #1: there are no rules
There are however plenty of traditions, conventions, suggestions and expectations. When are you going to get a real job?
Working, flowing through the city all the time on time is impossible to do everyday without making some assumptions. some calculated risks. Some predictions based on probability and experience. And just taking a few things for granted. But it’s beneficial to stop and consider this once in a while. Or at least slow down and be a little more kid-like or little more bumpkin tourist like.
For example, you step on a crowded elevator and press 55 and assume it will take you up to suite #5500 and let you out. But look at the six people you’re with and visualize spending the next 7 hours with them on that elevator when it breaks down. How ya like me now? Gotta take a piss. What’s that perfume you’re wearing? Please shut up.
And another thing, it’s very difficult to give a courtesy flush when the toilet has an automatic flush sensor. A perfect example of poor product design. Designed by stiffs too far removed from reality, too high up off the streets, too clueless to know how the shit really goes down. Because they’re all up in the executive washroom where somebody gets paid to flush the toilet for them.
I designed a waterless urinal years ago. It’s called a bucket.
And one more thing, we need more umlauts.
Try to work some Hüsker Dü into your daily life.
