Earlier this week I walked into the bathroom at work and noticed someone I have not seen before. That is not too uncommon since there is a conference room on our floor that another company frequently uses for training.
While the guy was at the sink, though, he did something that I consider a faux pas in a public bathroom. The guy took a phone call and proceeded to carry a conversation just standing there in front of the sinks.
I am the type of person where, if Golden is carrying a phone conversation and I am in the bathroom I do everything I can to block bathroom-specific noise. I have also let calls hit voicemail when I was in the bathroom rather than trying to carry a conversation in that environment. There is just something weird about hearing a flush over the phone. This is why I could not figure out why the guy didn't quickly head for the door once the call came in.
So, if I call you in the future and you are temporarily indisposed, you can let it hit voicemail. I don't mind.

Is it possible to describe a personal blog without it sounding self-absorbed?
The title Off the Bridge is to reflect that I created this blog in part due to peer pressure. When I created and named it I did not anticipate still using it years down the road.
I generally post my thoughts on topics that have been floating around in my head in the previous days. I hope you find something interesting. In any case, thanks for stopping by.

I think it is a faux pas. My family is comfortable enough with each other that we will use the bathroom while talking on the phone.: ) Only immediate family members though.
I typically won't answer in the bathroom either. Your conversation echos too much.
I think it depends on who it is, I have people that I'm comfortable with enough--and them with me and that we don't care. Plus a lot of the time you can't really hear the noise specifically, just that there is extra noise.
