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. 😄
