Sweeping Changes at My Place of Employment!
As an employee of an engineering firm, it's not unusual to occasionally find a few employees poring over a large drawing. This afternoon I noticed our Quality Manager gazing at a drawing with one of our machinists - not an unusual sight. What struck me was the janitor peering over this drawing at the same time. I'm not sure what input he could possibly have or, for that matter, what vital information he may have been acquiring from the conversation. I can only guess that there were special janitorial needs for this particular project; must have been an especially messy part that required an extra pass or two with the sweeper.

If you took a closer look at the "project," you may have noticed Miss January in all her glory. Perhaps, it was the latest Vegas line. Why do you begrudge a janitor anyway. Here is a nice working man trying to make an honest living, and here you are trying to disparage him from learning or offering his wisdom. What are you anyway, a SNOB?
You just don't get it. First of all, there are "Miss January's" posted here and there throughout the building (including the janitor's room) so there's no need to place such artwork on a table.
The big concern is that I think this guy is after my job! Or worse yet, he could be my next boss!! I'm not exactly sure what to do but I've already started cleaning up after myself.
I think they were actually reviewing your employment file, and in disbelief that they hired you for your present position. The janitor must have been impressed that he had better credentials, and a better car than you.
Oddly enough, the cleaning lady has the nicest car of all of us. I've been there five years and she has already gone through a Cadillac SRX, Hummer H2 and Nissan Murano. The janitor only drives a 2007 Camry.
They couldn't have been looking at my file, the piece of paper was much too big. My file is on a 3 x 2 Post-It Note.
They must of been looking at your cleaning ladies portfolio from her moonlighting opportunity. Perhaps, if you weren't so enamored with what a person drives, you too, could be a success.
I can't help it; I'm deeply shallow.
Then you should have picked a nicer car.
And better friends.
and not your nose.
Take my co-blogger, please.
My co-blogger and I have been happy for 20 years, and then we met.
