When I started this account, I was a custodian at an elementary school. Loved that job. I worked the evening shift so only saw students for the first couple of hours. I got along great with the principal, most teachers, staff, and especially my fellow custodian who handled the back part of the school. During this time, I was also wrapping up school (University). They knew I would move on once I was done with school, since my background was working with individuals with intellectual disabilities and that's what I wanted to do for a living (Social Work). Job was definitely physically draining but helped with keeping me in shape. I walked so much while carrying around a vacuum in the form of a backpack for the first couple of hours of the shift. I cleaned about 20 classrooms, some offices, staff restrooms, and two sets of kindergarten restrooms. Kinder classrooms were the worst but can't complain, kept me busy. Hardly any time to slack off. My boss left me alone and I probably saw him about five times in the two years I worked there. I let my work do the talking and I took pride in cleaning the hell out of those classrooms. Made some great friends that I still keep in touch with. Most students were great and often followed me around since I was the "skater" custodian. I didn't wear a uniform but dressed comfortably, often with skate related hats (Brixton, Thrasher, DLX brands, etc.). I also schooled the older kids in tech deck. I miss that job, great pay, but am happy doing social work now. Office setting (currently working from home), excellent pay, benefits, but mentally draining.
