The Shortage

I work for the government. I am a loyal and proud civil servant. I may not get paid as much as I should, but I do my job to the best of my ability because I know I ultimately serve the citizens.

Right now, we're experiencing a bit of a deficit. Okay, so we're experiencing a really big deficit. I will valiantly do my part to help save money while still providing the best services that we can, but I will draw the line somewhere!

The past couple of days, the women's washroom has run completely out of toilet paper at least twice. Staffers have had to go to the floor above or below to "take care of business". This then causes a cascade effect inevitably causing several floors to be without the much sought after TP. I highly doubt it is part of our cost-cutting measures, but you have to admit, it is highly inconvenient!

I'm thinking that the next time the building runs out of "supplies" I will leave. There's gotta be something in our Workplace Health and Safety manual about standards of cleanliness.
