Plastic Palaces

When I have limited time to get a post out, I have a few quick ones reserved to provide light reading for you all. Tonight's post is one of those.

Lest you all think that we have it too easy...working in a palace and all...rest assured, we don't quite have all the royal comforts. Our palace is essentially a very large house built for one family. The internal plumbing and septic tank (despite the "fabulous" third-world workmanship) is only designed to handle that one family. It has quite a bit of difficulty with the 200 or so personnel we have working in my building. The solution? What we like to call "plastic palaces".

So, yes, I am spending 6 months visiting a port-a-john multiple times per day. Fortunately, these are the cleanest port-a-johns in the world. They are completely cleaned out and pressure-washed with sanitizing fluid twice per day! So I guess we do have all the royal comforts after all...or something like that.

Now that I think about it though, I am not really looking forward to using the port-a-johns when it gets hot. Imagine 140 degrees inside a little plastic box with no air movement...
