Re: cleanliness of your room?
Posted by love my custodians on 5/16/08

    I go out of my way to meet my custodians. I always ask them what I can do to help
    them in the room. Then I take care of those things as best as I can so that I don't
    annoy the custodian. everyone has their pet peeves. It is just smart to be on the
    custodians good side.

    My custodian does not like it when the kids leave little scraps of paper and such
    around their desks. So I make this a big deal with the students. Now my custodian
    loves me. And does it pay off!!! He brings me a big fresh made cookie every day at
    the end of the day from the cook and when I need to get into a room after hours for
    any reason, guess who has the key and always opens the door for me. You think
    cleaning what the janitor wants you to in your room is not your problem...ok, but I
    think you are being shortsighted. Instead of complaining that cleaning isn't your
    job. Just do what makes the janitor really crazy irritated and always have a smile
    and kind word for him and let him know what you do to help him. Some day it might
    pay off big time.

    Put it this way. If you love your principal, it is probably because he treats you
    well. So he probably treats most people well. But if you hate the principal, maybe
    he is a jerk and likely the janitor hates him too. Well, if you are buddies with the
    janitor and you both hate the principal, imagine the possibilities.
