I am a housekeeper...janitor...whatever you want to call it. Frankly, it's a job I never thought I would have. But...life happens, and sometimes we go tumbling down rabbit holes, and we're forced to take jobs we otherwise wouldn't, so we can pay the rent...keep the lights on...buy food. So, for the past year or so, I've been forced to put my higher education on hold so I can take care of these things.
It's so easy to get caught up in our own lives, and never think about the folks behind the scenes...please...allow me to enlighten you with a short list of things I've learned and things YOU, world, should remember.
1. If your desk is covered in a pile of papers 12 inches deep, I cannot, will not attempt to clean your desk.
2. Unless particularly specified, our duties do not include gardening, consequently, I should not be required to go outside in frigid temperatures to hook up a garden hose to spray down a garbage can that contains more nasty, gross, who knows what, than the actual trash bag did.
3. Lawyers are the messiest people on earth. Seriously...worse than a classroom full of 3 year olds.
4. No matter their age, men will never master the art of aim.
5. People apparently think it's ok to clip their nails during a church service...and leave the clippings on the carpet *GAG*
6. It is now socially acceptable to smash wedding cake into the carpet of wedding reception venues
7. The knowledge that their company has a "cleaning lady" somehow gives people the ok to become complete slobs...I AM NOT YOUR MAMA...
8. Your office is not Texas Roadhouse, so please place the peanut shells from your afternoon snack in the garbage and NOT the floor
9. This may seem a bit elementary but please...FLUSH!
10. If the housekeeper doesn't come until Saturday, WHY in God's green earth would you put your nasty cereal bowl (milk and all) in your office trashcan on Monday? WWWWHHHYYY???
I mean...I'm just sayin'.....^_^
"...Thus grew the tale of Wonderland: Thus slowly one by one, it's quaint events were hammered out- and now the tale is done...the dream child moving through a land of wonders wild and new, In friendly chat with bird
or beast-and half believe it true..." -Lewis Carroll
