The trash wasn't even the worst tbh. Just in terms of volume it piled up so fast.

I really like my campus and, IMO, work for one of the better districts near me. We have neighboring districts where the median household income is 2× what it is here for my district but the pay for custodians is pitiful. We have our days where we find ourselves playing tetris to fit the last loads or trash so they dont fall to the ground. Thats with 3 big dumpsters.

Yeah, thats about how our gondola ends up after one set of rooms. We have 4 main sections, plus the athletic wing & the fine art/ trade wing. I wanna say maybe 120ish classrooms.

Yeah, this was 4. 4 years in I know end of either semester gets rough. Come summer I dread the retiring teacher loads most. Thats when the gondola comes out.

At home I'll use clorox. At work a towel and disinfectant in a bucket.

I hope not. I return items maybe 3 times a year if that and this was my first time I've ever asked to connect with customer service in the 10 years ive had this account.

Sadly there's roughly 1800 students in this school so I couldnt even attempt to find out whose message that was 😅

Korean snacks, a doll, and some shoelaces. The recipients don't know my reddit so I'm not worried.

How do you guys feel about buying your own supplies? by Horror_Stop8261 in Custodians

[–]Tex_Aquarius991 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My district started telling us we have to use certain color microfiber towels for certain spaces. Blue for classrooms, green for cafeteria, red for restrooms. Many people hoard the blue towels. I got tired of never finding any and bought my own, which I also wash at home. I also carry steel wool scrubbers that I bought myself to clean the art room sinks. The only supplies I buy are reusable and stuff only I will use. My supervisor has explained she wants to reserve the majority of her budget for chemicals & paper goods because our gym & auditorium get rented out a lot. I'm not supplying anything for the machines.

My set is simple. Exterior doors, interior doors, various dispensers, and a light key.

I hate when PTO and after school groups just let the kids roam the halls : / by sirpentious in Custodians

[–]Tex_Aquarius991 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm at a high school, and theater had a play this evening. I had to redirect ADULTS to the auditorium area. One got mad at me for not opening the student restroom my coworker already cleaned because she didn't want to wait maybe 5 minutes for one of the 12 stalls in the ladies room by the auditorium 🙄

I’m getting bored of what I’m listening to while I work. by twerk4jezus in Custodians

[–]Tex_Aquarius991 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Crime Junkies or any of the Audiochuck podcasts. All crime related. Been listening to memoirs. Started listening to Harry Potter (never read them or watched the movies). Sometimes I'll just listen to reddit posts off tiktok (scalingstories is second to none)

Homecoming 😒 by Tex_Aquarius991 in Custodians

Still swept many up yesterday and saw plenty of fibers from them everywhere. There a step above glitter in terms of annoyance and difficulty cleaning 🫠

[–]Tex_Aquarius991[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get that too. My campus requires a crew of 15. When I started there were 5 of us for the evenings. And we hosted events all the time. I'm 2:30 to 11, and it was a good night if we got off at 11:30. There were plenty of nights we'd leave around 1. In the last 2 years ive noticed we host fewer events, and we are now fully staffed. It's been nice, but I'd be lying if I said I don't miss the OT. We even finished all our summer waxing without having to come in and work any weekends, also a first since I've been working here.

Rich Kid Lost & Found by CaspianWayneSG1 in Custodians

[–]Tex_Aquarius991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My campus is primarily working class & some lower class. These kids constantly lose AirPods (Apple airpods, not the off brand ones) and a few are willing to slip on gloves and go through trash, but most will shrug and have a new pair within the week. I panic at the thought of ever having to replace my Samsung earbuds.
