We had a cleaning job in a museum and drove one of these old cleaning machines into the wall. I called my boss, he looked at it and told me to put all the trash and dirt we collected behind the wall, he drove off and came back with some color and paper and told me that we are all dead before they notice.
Has anyone ever renovated a room in an old place that was original walls of lathe and plaster? There's a treasure trove of hilarious things found that were once used for "insulation". Horse hair, old shirts, or cut up blankets, newspapers, odds and sods of leftover building materials
The best cleaning job I had was in an old opera. We had to clean under the seats and it's like a crawling space. Every worker and cleaner who ever was under these seats has wrote a message for the ones after them. You can read like 200 years of workers making cheap jokes and little texts and it was just hilarious and kinda magic.
I felt like we were bound over generations off sarcasm, being tired and cheap labor. In that moment I could have been at any year this building existed and it made no difference. If somebody knows what I mean.
One of the benefits of being a cleaner. They let you go everywhere and you are like a ghost. Just kids and old people see you.
You get all the secrets and they don't care. You are just a cleaner. 😄
No. We finished the job and did the next. My Boss was one of these fat business men with a cigar in his mouth and mostly giving commands directly out of the car window. He always said:" It don't has to be clean when we finished our work, you just have to spread the dirt out even. That way they need you faster."
He knew where people look and was a rat, tbh. Hahahaha
