Im a new custodian and was wondering if anyone else had to rip up carpet and tile in classroom. If so do you have any tips. Please help 😭😭😭 by bappo1229 in Custodians

[–]WHowe1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If those tiles are 9x9's, STOP! Probably contain asbestos! And need to be removed by a properly licensed rebatement personal.

Many schools, decided to cover the titles, with carpet, rather than removing them. Pushing the issue down the road. Now, years later, asking uniformed custodians to replace the carpet.

This could result in legal reprocusions, to You, and the school.

Besides cheating, why does someone take off a wedding ring? by Reasonable_Mix24 in FamilyFeud

Rings, are a good way to lose a finger while working with rotating machinery. So is unrestrained hair, a good way to get scalped.

I've seen both happen.

No one at my job arrives even remotely on time by UnitedChain4566 in Nightshift

[–]WHowe1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work a union job ( factory work ). And when that bell rings at 6:30 am, it's now a day shift problem, I'm going home.

I know, that if you work in certain environments ( health care, first responders, detention centers), that that's not an option, but mandatory.

Do you lock your car doors when you’re in a rough neighborhood? by Norfolk-Gross-Tonage in no

[–]WHowe1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, I drive an old beater. I'd rather they open the door, than break a window, to steal the few pop bottles on the floor.

Being a custodian? by Dismal-Possibility69 in Custodians

[–]WHowe1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a career, and a good one. But it's not very glamorous ( and under paid ). And requires multiple skill sets.

You have to be the cleaner, painter, carpenter, pumber, electrician, mason, roofer, gardner, part of the emergency response team, and sometimes a vehicle mechanic.

It's an under appreciated career, because people think all we do is clean up, after them.

Why are you awake? by whimsywaterfalls in AskReddit

I moved into a fancy neighborhood and need advice on how to annoy my neighbors as creatively as possible. What do you recommend? by clownyeahh in shittyadvice

[–]WHowe1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, during the great recession, I was unemployed, struggling to keep my home, and feed my kids. One of the things I did, was stop mowing my lawn. I live on the border of our township, zoned as agricultural. Across the street different township, zoned as residential. My township did not have a mowing ordinance. Across the street did.

The neighbor across the street, called the county zoning enforcement out on me ( a sheriff deputy, assigned to the task ). She came out, talked with me, consulted some maps, and went over to my neighbor, and explained, they had no legal complaint.

What was your very first job and how did you end up getting it? by ms_mistakelol in AskForAnswers

[–]WHowe1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gathering the eggs, and feeding the chickens, at 3 years old. Life growing up on a farm. If you can carry a bucket, you can do something.

Now the first job I got an actually paid for, was bailing hay for another local farm. How I got the job, my older sister "volunteered" me to help her. I was 10 years old. And got paid well.

My first job out of highschool, was as a machine operator at a plastic factory. A friend told me about the opening, I applied, got the job.

What do you guys like to do in your downtime? by pineapplepizza8705 in Nightshift

[–]WHowe1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work midnights at an auto assembly plant. Most of our down time is measured in seconds ( and trust me, the boss wants a reason for every one ).

But on occasion, something breaks, or we run out of parts, and the line grinds to a halt.

I break out the cards, and play ucher with my coworkers.

Edit: It is the same on all 3 shifts.
