tonight's care-taking shift

so i'm working at my church as a care-taker. setting up chairs, emptying trash, helping random people... it's a good job when i have a good attitude. For example, when I'm emptying the numerous office trash cans, sometimes I get these neat little obstacles that can add a lot of fun to a relatively mundane task. Gum is cool, cause it acts as a adhesive for little pieces of garbage. Dirty kleenex's have to be tackled with a little strategy to avoid touching moist parts. But the best is, by far, half-full coffee cups. My dad is better at this than every other pastor. Tonight he had around four, which made for a pretty ncie trashcan flip into the large bag. Can't mess those ones up. Coffee stains are never fun.

Anyhow, I think I'm a pretty cool janitor. I try not to be bitter, and be nice to the youth that come in and out of church. Sometimes I think they find me intimidating cause when I find them loitering I tell them where their program is "in case they're looking for it." I gave one some free yogurt from the kitchen today... just to show that I'm cool too.
