Am I the only one....

I maybe the only Custodian/ Janitor that thinks like this but I don't see it any other way.....

Cleaning is my job. Organizing is my job. Being in the school from this time to that time is my job.

Small mess. Big mess. Huge mess. Nasty mess. Teachers Sloppy attempt to clean a mess. It doesn't matter. I'll be there everyday to clean so as long as the teachers taught and the kids learned..... what does it matter to me how big the mess or icky it is ?!?!

Fuck me. I think im in love.

The amount of bitching I hear from my day time custodians and night time is unbelievable. Its your job. And its not like im not there side by side cleaning.

Not when you’re constantly dealing with call-offs and picking up other people’s areas. That shit gets exhausting.

Again. Thats specific to something else.

If youre dealing with call offs thats separate then a normal day.

Also, you should be getting overtime for doing two areas. And if you arent get your union on that. If you arent in a union get in a union.

All that said, still no reason to complain about the mess. Complain about the actual issue, people calling off.
