Work
I love and hate the job that I have.
Oh, the places I go. I'm a "Substitute Assistant Custodian." Which basically means that I fill in any basic custodian jobs that need to be filled around the Vancouver School District. Janitor is missing at a high school? I'll fill in for him. Elementary school doesn't have a custodian there? Call me in.
I love working at elementary schools. I haven't been to all the schools yet, so when the head custodian's meet me, they assume I'm new and tell me to do just the basics, which is trash, bathrooms and vacuuming/mopping. And there's no way that takes up a whole 8 hour shift. So I get the casually go through my work, listening to my music as I go. It's wonderful and peaceful, and it gives me plenty of time to day dream and think.
I also hate elementary schools. It gets insanely lonely. My shift typically starts at 2:30 pm and goes until 11:00 pm. By 5:00, most people are typically gone, meaning the school is completely empty and in my care. Sometimes, this is neat, and I get the place to myself. But sometimes it's not that great. The loneliness can get to me and makes the time drag on and on. I try to focus on my work and music, but the sense of being alone is not one that is easily ignored.
That's why I enjoy working in high schools. The work is harder, but I often get to work along side other people as well. The company is nice, and I get to meet new people, most of who are very nice.
I'm getting tired, so I'm gonna stop now. But I'm glad I got to write twice in one week! I miss the days where I cold write every day without breaking a sweat. I want those days back.
See ya later. (Maybe? Dunno. We'll see.)
