Hanami
So I'm obviously not Japanese, but ever since I found a row of beautiful Sakura trees near my work in an empty field I always did my own version of Hanami each year while the trees were in bloom, providing the ground wasn't wet from rain. Unfortunately this year because of the warm weather the trees are in bloom and have been for a while, almost 2 months early too. 
It's very sad since shortly before blooming the row of trees were trimmed by the company that owned them. Yes, that's right I coped a squat in the middle of an empty field between office buildings. For a while the company who owned the trees found it very weird and odd, but within a week it was normal to see me taking my lunch break out there on my blanket having a picnic while looking at the trees. Amazing what people can get used to if they see it happen often enough huh? I find looking at the trees or reading under one very calming and soothing, especially when the petals are starting to fall and there's a light breeze. 
I finally got around to changing my avy, but decided to keep my layout, too lazy to change it just yet since other projects are taking too much of my time. Don't you think he'd just so pretty? Of course since he's not real it's easy. The guy in the picture is Ayase from Okane ga nai (No Money) which of course is a yaoi. He's the uke...then again that's pretty easy to tell too huh? I just find all of the artwork done with him in it just so pretty. I thought this just screamed "Spring!" so decided to use it over a few others.
My work is probably going to be moving and from what's been said it will happen sometime after summer. I know where we're moving and it's a very good location for a lots of different things. Sure it will be far away from "my" Starbucks, but there is one close by and with any luck they will have good service too. One thing I'm still worried over is the public bathroom. Why you might be asking, after all I do share a bathroom with the female co-workers right now. Simple, I know they wash their hands. I know they use the Lysol in the bathroom. I know they don't do disgusting things. While on Blogmad I ran across this blog. See those three entries under bathroom? Yeah those are my greatest public bathroom fears coming to life! 
You all might think that it's a 1 in a million chance that would happen, but I know better. The last place I worked was near a very large company that used a "roach coach" for their lunch. Well they became banned from using that company's bathrooms. When asked by the woman cook we thought nothing of it and let her use the bathroom. That's right the next person to go in saw that she took a crap on the FLOOR! 
I'm not kidding, it was horrible and all over. I felt soooo horrible for the guy who had to clean it up. That's just wrong. More recently at the job I'm at I've already walked into the worst smelling all over disgusting crap that the person decided not to flush...twice! The only two times I know of where the person didn't use the damned plundger that we have right next to our toilet and who gets stuck walking into it? ME! I know who did it, but since the person is not with the company I'm no longer afraid of when I have to use the bathroom.
So for those of you in the work force and have to share a bathroom in either a very large corporation or with other companies in the shared building how do you stand it? What do you do? The new place is too far away from where I moved to so "holding it" until lunch is out of the question.
You changed jobs or just changed work place? Or am I completely wrong? Er.. about the toilet.. If you ever come to Malaysia, stay away from the public toilets as it's either dirty, smelly or broken.. It's rare to find one which is none of the above, unless if you're at a well-known hotel, mall or restaurant. While I was working, I drink really little water and try to hold it in till I get home for lunch or dinner, or I walk to the nearest place which I know have a clean toilet.

Toilet Trouble I hate it too! When I was in high school, the toilet flushes are always not functioning properly. And the students there are too lazy to flush the toilet with water using the bucket. >_< Eventually, all the cubicle you peeked into would have crap on it. >_> Not to mention they LOVE to step on the seats with their dirty, muddy shoes. >_< And the door has always holes on them. Ack! Thank God the toilets in my university are always clean.
