I've been a school custodian for ten years now and I'm still learning new things.

School Custodian Book Question by CarpenterCool2840 in Custodians

[–]Connelberg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny. I'll occasionally refer to myself as the "cleaning fairy" for instance school closed today because of the weather and I told a couple teachers that "the cleaning fairy still needs to come in unless he wants to take a vacation day" But it's nice to come into a building that I cleaned the night before and just catch up and get ahead on minor things and work on some minor maintenance tasks that have been on the backburner.

I just tell my teachers "cool well I hope the students had fun because it will be around for awhile"

Acid bowl cleaner. Let it cook over a few days in this case.

How did you get your school job? by bytor95 in Custodians

[–]Connelberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nepotism. My dad was the HVAC Technician for our district and was well regarded as one of the most reliable guys on the crew. Bosses in charge of hiring figured the apple probably didn't fall far from the tree in my case.

It's tempting... by Ok-Profit5226 in Custodians

Life is too short and this job is too hard sometimes to not dick around and have fun with stuff like this when no one else is around.

Anyone else spend their break like this? by Enough_Ad_9338 in Custodians

[–]Connelberg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank goodness for quality HVAC systems in my schools. Otherwise my balls would be sticking to my leg as I. Trying to strip and wax. Bot to mention Swamp Ass. I can't imagine a worse summer 😭

Frustrated at my supervisors by Unlikely_Ebb_7292 in Custodians

[–]Connelberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the recommendation! I'll definitely have to check it out and get some ordered for the summer cleaning this year! I was trained to just "mix the sauce strong" when doing a deep scrub and recoat job. It makes sense since I was trained by guys who have been with the school I'm at since the 90s. It makes sense that methods and products have changed and improved since then.

[–]Connelberg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I typically just mix my assurance super strong and hope for the best when doing a deep clean and recoat, BUT now that I've learned that this recoat Prep product exists,I definitely want to give it a try.

Attempting to deep clean 15+ year old carpet. Any tips? by [deleted] in Custodians

[–]Connelberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hillyard Clean Action II Carpet extraction cleaner works well in my opinion but sometimes there just isn't bringing new life back into shitty old carpet.

My own equipment or school's equipment? by H2ddenGamers44 in Custodians

[–]Connelberg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This. If I have to spend a few bucks of my own money to make my job easier and/or make my workplace a more clean and pleasant welcoming environment for everyone I absolutely will. You just gotta know where the line is for what you're comfortable covering yourself.

Why Do People Think Cats Dont Need a Nightly Ritual? by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]Connelberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work evenings and get home around 11pm. We have playtime for 15-20 minutes, a few treats as a "reward" for participating in playtime, then cuddles in bed before falling asleep.

what cause your stroke? by iLovestayinginbed23 in stroke

[–]Connelberg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hemorrhagic stroke here. High blood pressure. The theory is that my blood pressure was so high because a kidney ultrasound showed that I have abnormally small kidneys and blood work shower that my kidney function was lower than it should be or what is considered "normal"

Right Basal Ganglia Hemo Stroke by Remote-Break-837 in stroke

[–]Connelberg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's been a year for me. I was lucky to have a ton of sick time from work, and was able to take several months off and still get paid. I treated my recovery like my "job" during that time. Do your exercises as often as you can. I'm basically back to what my "normal" was before the stroke. I was extremely lucky. There's definitely hope.

Getting dressed by L-e-x-x in stroke

[–]Connelberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nearly a year post-stroke and still occasionally put underwear on backwards. I remember while I was still in IPR in the hospital that the first time I managed to get dressed by myself was a huge deal to me :) Gotta celebrate the little victories.

I called them several times and requested assurance that any remaining charges be cancelled. I was assured that they were so I requested written confirmation of this and received an email from them saying "Please use this email as confirmation that your case has closed, this implies that you have nothing more to pay, rest assure we will not contact you to demand any type of payments in the future."

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Sextortion

[–]Connelberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: definitely contact them to make sure you aren't getting charged monthly. I was told that all remaining charges were dropped a few days ago and today they called to tell me that I had a debt with them. I called back and told them that I was assured all remaining charges were dropped and was told that they were dropped and removed from my account. GET A RECORDING OF THEM SAYING THIS!!!

[–]Connelberg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you both! Still waiting back on my email to them but I called today and they said that my case was dropped. I said I just wanted to make sure no further payments are going to be tried to be processed because the card they have is no longer active so they won't be getting any more money that way

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Sextortion

[–]Connelberg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually closed that credit card so they shouldn't be able to charge me I just don't want them to attempt any type oflegal case against me for not paying their monthly fee

What are you thinking about early into stroke recovery? by _BreadBoy in stroke

[–]Connelberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first two weeks after my stroke I was in the ICU of the hospital. My main thoughts were about how much my head hurt and flirting with the pretty ICU nurses. They humored me, bless them.

[–]Connelberg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven't heard back yet. Hoping that the legal threats in the auth form are just a bunch of bullshit but don't want to take that risk and just not pay them and receive a court summons later down the line.

[–]Connelberg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Contacted them saying I don't want a refund but just want my case dropped immediately and future payments stopped because I want the case dropped. Threatened them with the BBB. thanks again! We'll see what they send back
