The Executive Washroom

We have one working bathroom in our building. We normally would have two more, but they have been unusable since last year when their pipes froze up and still haven't unfrozen. So, everyone uses the bathroom near my office which used to be like my own private executive washroom.

A couple of weeks after I started working at the oilfield, our building ran out of water. In order to flush the toilet, I had to pick up a very large jug of water. Unfortunately, I dropped it against the tank lid and broke it.

Since we had a visiting mucky-muck coming from Washington, D.C. last week, Trina decided to make a tank lid - out of bubble wrap! Here she is assembling the lid. (Hey, if you get bored while using the toilet, you can pop some bubbles, but you'd probably have to sit backwards).

Here is "Vanna" Trina showing off the new top...

This is the scene from the bathroom window. Isn't it great?

This is our sink with only one working faucet - the other has a lockout tag on it...

If the water in the tank keeps running, it can drain the water supply from the building and then water has to be hauled in a truck and retested for bacteria.

Since there are only six females in the field, we contend with the toilet seat left up and bad aims. Hence, the sign...

This is an artificial snake we have lying in the bathroom to scare away the rats and mice. It gets moved from time to time to scare people...

So, that's a tour of my executive washroom.
