That’s just WEAK!

So, one of the doctors I work with/for/near quit on Wednesday.  Why did he quit you may ask?  Inhumane working conditions?  No.  Another, more lucrative job offer?  No.  Relocating to Bali?  No.

He quit because there is a sink in his office. 

Perhaps you’re thinking what I thought when they told me – he’s quitting because there’s a skink in his office?

Oh, you didn’t say skink.  He’s quitting because there’s a skank in his office?

Oh.  He really is quitting because there’s a sink in his office.

And that my friends, wins the good doctor the Weak Ass Award of the Week.  Which I made up specifically for this occasion, but may bestow upon others in the future as the situation calls for it.

    … what? What exactly is the problem with a sink in an office? I’m so confused1

    Um, what? Is he kidding? Is he secretly a trust fund baby? Must be nice to roll like that even if it makes him a jerk otherwise.

    Y’all – I was livid! I schedule the doctors which is a pain in and of itself, but to have to re-juggle 24 other human beings schedules because 1 decided to quit – over a sink in his office – just drove me batty! And no, he wasn’t kidding. The sink “disturbed” him. Seriously. The great news (insert sarcasm here) is that he’s changed his mind. So, the schedule I just re-juggled, I now have the privilege of re-re-juggling. Oh there are days I wish I wasn’t such a pacifist – I would truly like to whip his *bleep!* The thing that really kills me – if he quit over a sink this time, I can only imagine that it is just a matter of time before he re-quits over some other monumental wrong – like oh, his telephone being the wrong color. Aaargh!

    Was it a public sink where people could just walk in and out to wash their hands?

    Brran1 – Nope. Just a regular old handwashing sink safely ensconced in his mostly locked office – not at all open to the public.
