Ok, so I’m lucky. I just returned from 2 weeks of vacation and I get back and all those lazy fucks I work with are here but then they leave to go jack off somewhere or some other useless thing that men do and this office is a nightmare. I look around and the place is filthy. And I mean GROSS. It’s old, drafty and nasty anyway but really? C’mon, guys! I walk in and am immediately assailed by the stench of rotting food, mold and mildew. The floors are covered in mud, dirt and christ only knows what else. So then I swept, and swept, and mopped and remopped, then remopped again using bleach, cleaned everything like a mad woman, took out gross garbage bags that were overflowing on the floor, scrubbed some dried shit off the toilet and wiped piss off the floor and walls, bleached the sink and I have on my new clothes that are now scuzzy and my hair looks just like the giant brillo pad I used to scrub the shit away. I am hot, and hateful. Do they even see it? Do they even give a flying fuck that they are spending 9 hours a day in a pig sty? If I didn’t clean it, would they just slowly die in here, suffocate under tons of half eaten food and garbage? Maybe catch a little hantavirus from the rodent droppings laying on our desks and around the floor, or something worse from that filthy bathroom that looks like it belongs on a fucking tv beg-a-thon show from India? Are these work conditions even allowed in Canada? Am I even in Canada? Anyway, to my gross coworkers… you make me want to gag and I feel sorry for all your wives. Fucking twats. —Not a Nice Girl

“then they leave to go jack off somewhere or some other useless thing that men do”
LOL
Picking up after people only makes it worse OP, you gotta say something.
Hay Martha Stewart. Guess what your Christmas bonus is going to be. That’s right, a ball gag and more Lemon Pledge.
When I was little and unable to keep a clean room, I knew that if it got bad enough, when I came home from school one day it would automatically be cleaned :). Don’t set such a precedent.
“Am I even in Canada?”
A very nice narrative flow, Not, culminating in that existential question as to one’s location in space.
Of course, space is only one-half of Immanuel Kant’s “analytical categories” i.e., those pre-experiential structures in the absence of which experience itself is meaningless. The other analytical category is that of time. Did you experience the same “de-realization” in terms of time that you experienced in terms of space?
Write back with your thoughts, Not.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
Unless you’re employed as a cleaner, why on earth (including Canada) are you cleaning the place up?
If people want to leave the work space in a disgusting state, make sure your own spot is cleaned, fuck the rest.
I think this issue can be better addressed by TTFN!
One thing I don’t understand, why do you wear new clothes for a custodial job?
Coveralls and rubber gloves are what you want.
Now go clean the toilet, last night was burrito night at the tavern.
I want to know what vested concern allows it’s scullery maids 2 weeks vacation AND access to the heliograph. Blasted Radicals. Van Dieman’s Land is looking for women.Perhaps this shrew would care to exercise her idle tongue there.
Tell you what OP, those guys took off and left you with the mess because if one of them did it, they would be afraid that they would be responsible for cleaning up such messes in he future. It would become their responsibility. You just proved that to them.
Some people can exist quite comfortably in a pig sty and that gives them an advantage over someone like yourself. I believe you should ask them to try and be a little more tidy, if that doesn’t work, maybe somebody who signs their paycheque can. That will probably get their attention.
OP, you’re a janitor or maid? If not, leave the mess to the cleaners.
Hey, I was just browsing youtube when I found a clip from annies dissertation on “Personal Knowledge and Philosophical Analysis in Education.”

OB does the term door mat mean anything to you? They’re not going to do anything because they know that you stupidly, will.
um…are you their mom or something?
Seems to me like you are letting yourself be their doormat. Sorry.
They were clearly wanking off so you would do their dirty work.
That’s hilarious Hugo, thanks 😀
Poor fucking thing, looks just like dear old Annie.
There’s a sucker in every workplace. I keep my shit neat and orderly, fuck the rest of them. If it gets that bed I’ll eat in my car.
🙂 Thanks ralmn, I tried to look at your avatar, but it keeps telling me to come back later…..what’s it say? ;D
Ugh, sounds like my workplace. These slobs are the same childish fucks who litter and generally hold a view in life that “someone else will do/fix/clean it”. However, my workplace has no cleaning staff…
