re: #138 lawhawk

Now remembering the short time I worked as a janitor.

The place I worked in was a sprawling former distillery, now a high end retail/cultural centre. The security was a bit lax and there were a number of isolated areas including a couple of washrooms. Because homeless people are quite diligent about finding places to do things we take for granted one of those washrooms was used frequently by them. They were not nearly as diligent as about cleaning up after themselves.

By the time I was given orders to clean it that washroom hadn’t been cleaned in at least two years. We’re talking cesspool levels of human waste. So a small washroom took two hours to clean.

I am amazed to this day I didn’t catch something horrible. Showered and laundered clothes the instant I got home.

The next day I was told I couldn’t eat lunch in any of the places the public could see me. The unspoken reason was the help can’t mingle with their betters.

Left shortly thereafter before I became a headline.
