Speaking of work bathrooms....am I the only one who doesn't sound like I am trying to invert my rectum when I take a dump? Anytime there is someone in the stall next to me I think they are gonna pop a blood vessel or something with how hard it sounds like they are struggling. I simple don't understand why that level off effort is necessary.
Like seriously, what do they think they are accomplishing?

I agree with the recent posts, I guess I fall into the optimal urinatior/non-inverted rectum category. While some here stand at the urinal 2-3x longer than me getting every last drop, it's the splattors & rectum explosions I worry about (diet). I'm thankful I do not eat w/e they do. Aside from that, there's that ONE over weight guy who goes in every morning and foul's up the place with a putrid rancid sweat/sh*t smell. And just recently, a new guy with a crusty beard scratches his face at the counter and leaves his curly face pubes all over the sink.

I can **** like a racehorse, no problems there.
But I have an occasional fondness for gross, unhealthy fried foods. And those kick my *** (literally) unless I supplement with psyllium husk fiber capsules.

Fiber tablets and a **** load of water and I'm regular. I get plenty of fiber from bread but the tablets are just insurance.
Also, flushable wipes=greatest thing ever
If anyone complains about taking fiber, get these. Like eating Smarties.

Well one day after my tonsil removal. my uvula is filled with blood and blocking my air way unless i sleep or sit a certain way. Doc says its normal for crazy big tonsils like mine. Other than that its not too bad. Feels like a bad sore throat.

Interestingly enough, I'm reading this thread in the bathroom.
Takes a while. No inversion.
Built in book case, proper lighting to read, and the laptop to catch up on stuff like this thread...

My boss, the VP of technology at WPIX just resigned. Accepted a job with WABC, which is a nice step up.
For the past two years, I've been the #2 man on the engineering side of the TV station. Chris comes up with grandiose ideas, I figure out how to make them work.
His departure leaves something of a power vacuum, and it's been hinted at that he intends me to replace him.
Being the semi-boss is hard enough. The thought of sitting in the Big Chair* terrifies me.

* = this is a figurative term. We have an open office plan, and everyone has the same chairs. Well, we have comfier chairs in the control rooms where people sit for 4-6 hours straight during the news, but you know what I mean.

Exactly what I'm afraid of.
An honest self-assessment reveals to me that I'm fantastically good at taking other people's seemingly crazy ideas and turning them into reality. Combination of big-picture perspective, detail-oriented, and effective at delegating tasks to the people best suited for them while separating out the really complex stuff that I need to handle myself.
By contrast, I have absolutely zero confidence in my own ability to come up with crazy (but profitable) ideas on my own.
I'm scared.

Everyone is different. You will have your own brand of crazy to spin because it is you and not the other guy anymore. And your perspective will have a better understanding of what is technically possible, which should allow for some envelope stretching. The way you mix state of the art with quirky/campy because of your wit will make it pretty interesting. I'd like to see what you come up with when you have the reins (no pressure).

If it were tuned really badly I could see that happening. If your ego correction limitations are set right it shouldn't mess the mix enough to die. If you give it 30% authority and it's reading full rich I bet it would stall and die.

If they don't offer it to you, you have an "in" at WABC.
