I had an interesting staff meeting today. Just a lot of boring shit about our library's new expansion and patron policy - I work in a public library, BTW.
Then a co-worker brings up that a little kid has been having accidents in the children's department and sort of hiding the turds in secret places. We're all pretty sure we know who it is, and the conversation turns to how we can use our in-house surveillance system to confirm it. From there, our director - my boss - recounts that in the mid-90's, before we installed our cameras, a mystery patron had been sneaking onto the elevator and peeing in the corner, making the whole thing reek of piss for a month. She basically said that there's no way we'll ever find out who did it because it was so long ago and there's no way to prove it even if we had a hunch.
So here I am, sitting at the end of the table, inwardly smirking and smug as hell because it was me. I was the 7-year-old who peed in the elevator in the mid-90's. I did it because I could, and I knew I couldn't get caught. I did it because I had a weird thing against public bathrooms at that age and refused to use them, so when I had to go at the library I snuck onto the elevator and peed in the corner. But it was me, and fate had decreed that the very person who peed in the elevator so many years ago would be sitting right across from my boss while she bemoaned the fact that she would never discover who it was.
I take great pleasure in this dark secret now. I had to tell GAF because I can tell no one else.
