They’re on the same floor, on opposite ends.

The vanity is on a different wall in each, but the stalls and lighting are the same. I could tell which bathroom it was though, yes.

When we have a baby being blessed or a baptism (LDS don’t baptize until 8yo so just after birth they usually give the baby a naming blessing) lots of family often invades the chapel and often they arrive earlier than most regular members so they just sit where ever they want without regard to where the regulars sit.

A few years back there was an actual fight that broke out between a regular and a visitor with the police called and blood being spilt. Just had to shake my head at that one.

Maybe the first time you went into the one where you use the far stall, someone was in the first stall, and that set the whole thing in motion.

I had a HS teacher once who didn’t assign seats. But like clockwork, everyone quickly settled into a seat and stayed there. After several months, someone sat in the ‘wrong’ seat for some reason, and the person who usually sat there complained. And the teacher had to remind us that he never assigned seats, we all just decided to keep sitting where we sat day one because we’re creatures of habit.

In the calculus and differential equations classes I took in college there was also no assigned seating. I took it upon myself to sit in vastly different areas of the room each day…especially for diffeq since there were about a dozen students in that one.

Does it have to be either-or?

I don’t think I ever had any classes with assigned seating in college.

In my honors classes last year I had no reason to assign seats. In the non-honors classes it seemed to help quite a bit to have them.

Does anyone else just sit in their car in the parking garage before work, trying to find the energy to turn “on” and start the work day?

It only happens rarely, but it does. Last year I couldn’t do it, left and went back home to work instead.

Yes, but not to the extent of driving back home to work.

Also, it happens every morning while I’m in bed.

Is it that the job sucks, or some days you’re just not quite feeling like you can be productive, or general anxiety, or what? And is it just doing in-person work - like, are you better doing WFH but there’s a dread about being in the office?

Is it perhaps related to anxiety about which bathroom stall you’re using?

The job doesn’t suck, I have a very enjoyable role, but I’d rather not have to work, and some days I’d just rather not deal with anyone. Being people-facing has always been an anxiety for me (I do have social anxiety), most days I can get the momentum, some days I just can’t.

I hate WFH, at least I hated it when it was every day. I like being in the office at least three days a week, but some days I simply don’t have the spoons.

Oh, I can relate to that. I have some social anxiety, or maybe I’m just an introvert, being ‘on’ with people saps my energy. Throw in some deadlines, or fire drills, and I definitely have some days where I’d rather not show up for a day or two.

Had to google that one. I suppose everyone has a limit, but I’m fortunate to generally have a large-ish number of spoons. My current job seems pretty well-matched to my average number of spoons. The last job I had, well, I had to tell them to fork off.

When you flip a single coin, why do you call “heads” or “tails”, plural? The are only one side pertaining to the head and one to the tail.
