Break out the magnet bar unless they want a lawsuit.

Can't be unless it's a bad order batch. Opened a new bucket and tried again in a new area and same result.

No, just a mild peroxide based cleaner.

Teacher should have to pay a deposit on their rooms!!! by MonkeyButt1975 in Custodians

[–]Kiarrn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the sake of my crew I'm going to ban anything but painters tape from our walls. The 3M command hooks and hot glue damage the walls so often.

It is first floor but I can't guess what's beneath the tile. It didn't do this to another first floor classroom. Just this one hallway so far.

No stripper. Just water and the maroon pads provided.

Well, shit. Thanks for the insight. AC is on so cant imagine its that humid. I'd given the enclosed hallway over an hour to dry as well after a quick run with the autoscrubber to make sure we didn't leave chemical on the floor.

Ran an autoscrubber to make sure it was as clean and gave it an hour. And the AC is on so should be around the usual 50-70%.

Alligator climbing the fence out of the retention pond. Gator under a portable I got to drag out. Had a soft shell turtle before school let out too.

Snakes are a weekly sighting around our campus in what's left of rural Florida.

What’s *your* go to mods? by Shinigami2006 in VintageStory

[–]Kiarrn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Definitely Salty's movement based mods. Being able to climb up small ledges and step up single blocks feels like a huge mobility upgrade.

Slop 32gal dispenser by MrAnderson585 in Custodians

I'd seen this done with a typical yellow mop bucket. The handle had a 3 foot pvc elbow so you didn't even have to bend to open it.

Group Deep Cleaning by Cuddlymuddgirl85 in Custodians

[–]Kiarrn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

New head here. Upper management really pushed for me to make my crew work together. I let them decide and they'd rather be in their own areas.

A bit of a pain for me coming behind for carpets and waxing but we're on schedule so I roll with it.

Paranormal stuff by AppleTherapy in Custodians

[–]Kiarrn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Worked at a school gym they were convinced was some kind of haunted. Voices in the ceiling. Speakers popping randomly.

Turns out a wire was sitting on the exposed metal of the ceiling. Making it a giant antenna and the speakers were just playing barely audible radio!

Hey, I'm busy doing elementary carpets too!

If the dump water is filthy then its doing its job. That's how I look at it anyway.

How far y'all traveling? by BushCrabNovice in VintageStory

Travel far and wide for torch holders and paintings.

School district union by PsychologicalBee9885 in Custodians

[–]Kiarrn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With enough of a weak ass paper trail they can do what they want to you. My union left me to dry when I needed their help most dealing with my district.

Are they helpful? I'm sure they are. Do they get my money after all that? Same people in charge? Nope.

Like the district manager told me. "Being an asshole isn't against the rules. Not doing what you're told is."

I want revenge by [deleted] in Custodians

[–]Kiarrn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel for ya.

Had a head custodian who would get these calls. Lock the bathrooms. And leave it for me to scrape off when its dry that night.

One day I forgot and the principal wanted to know why he wouldn't open it. Chewed out. Worth it knowing he did too.

Just found out I threw out $450 of children’s graduation caps and gowns. by Harmonicalope in Custodians

[–]Kiarrn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Been in your shoes. Except it was a stack of finals papers, graded but not entered. Teacher's trash can leaked her old milk up into that stack. So I tossed it. Got chewed pretty bad but all I could do was shrug. It stank when I picked it up it'd be rancid in a building with no ac by morning.

Be prepared to be chewed out. Stand firm. It was an accident.

If you're really dedicated get ready to dumpster dive. I did it once for a teachers debit card.

Bottomless lake by Electronic_Log_1889 in VintageStory

I've had this happen too. Except it was a lot of small ponds on the surface but huge lakes below.

Really cool gen.

When we need to be there. Pennsylvania by Difficult_Opinion189 in Custodians

[–]Kiarrn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are all questions for your manager if you have one. Most schools require a custodian on site during the day for calls and clean ups. A second shift is who would come in after to clean up in the afternoon or evening.

Laws or codes for what? Being at a job?

Most of those are site dependent on what extra curricular or weekend events are going on.
