Best Job

Being a custodian has its pros and cons. Wait, no, it just has its cons. Cleaning up after people gets really old and annoying. This weekend was High School Shakespeare, my least favorite weekend. The high school drama kids are ridiculously messy. Fortunately, my boss was out of town which means I'm in charge. That might not sound that bad but yesterday was a miserable day. My boss called me around 11:30 to clean up throw up. Any of you that know me, know I have the weakest gag reflexes. The instant I walked around the corner, I started dry heaving and tearing up. It was a miserable experience but I made it through. A couple of hours later, I got a call asking if I would go unclog a toilet and clean up the floor. That too wasn't pleasant but I made it through that too. A few hours after that, another call came saying someone threw up in the lobby of one of our buildings.
I took that photo so my boss would feel bad for me but then thought my blog followers might enjoy seeing it too. Yeah, you're welcome! The white area is where the throw up was. It took two cans of that absorbing powder to cover all of it. Notice how it's all up on the wall too. Props to the girl that made this mess. It was impressively messy and gross. I think it goes without saying but just in case you didn't notice, I'm pretty hardcore.
