Day One Hundred & Thirty-nine: 4/17/2023
I thought I’d experienced all the dingbat things that teenagers do in school. Except, here I am being flabbergasted by their actions. When I deal with these situations I’m annoyed by it, but I’m more curious how it all happened.
When I was dumping the trash by the eighth grade bathroom, the container was very heavy. Technically, the only thing in these trash cans should be used paper towels. I was too hesitant to dump the trash into the barrel, so I pulled the bag out. It had at least half a gallon of water!
Why!?
Why would there be so much water? There’s no way that it could’ve accumulated by itself. Someone would’ve had to intentionally fill the trash with that much water. I just don’t understand. Perhaps, the school needs to place more requirements on these halfwits. They shouldn’t have that much time to fill the trash with water. Fucking morons. That’s how I really feel.
It even weighed down my trash barrel. While I was taking it outside the barrel came off the wheels and toppled over. The water and fluids of the trash splashed down before I could stop the accident from occurring. It was embarrassing and unnecessary.
Day One Hundred & Forty: 4/18/2023
What a surprise, nothing of eventual note occurred today. Quite grateful. I’m still annoyed by the messes that these kids live behind. Especially in the library. The ONE area of the school where there isn’t supposed to be any food, yet I’m throwing away trash with trays of food. No wonder why these mice continue to scurry around this space as if it was their own personal playground.
In fact, I completely forgot about this. There was a mouse stuck in a trashcan, but they were smart enough to hide when I was looking inside the bin. They’d been drawn to the trash because of ranch dressing. They basically drowned in the white substance. I didn’t see them in the bag, but they were still there. While I was doing something else, it ended up being discarded by my crew lead.
Tonight, there was another senior recital. There has been one ever since we returned from spring break. I really wish I could watch them, except I’m always vacuuming when they are performing. Also, I’d hate to be a distraction to anyone trying to express themselves through their art.
Day One Hundred & Forty-one: 4/19/2023
There is a subject that I must clearly address because this affects everyone that is in the school. Certain sinks are not equipped to process food! Tonight alone I found ramen noodles in two different bathroom sinks and chocolate in the main sink in the hallway. The adults and students are guilty of this crime. It makes me curious if I should put up some sort of sign that states, “These Sinks ARE NOT FOR FOOD!” There are literal metal guards because these sinks and pipes are not equipped to handle any type of food content. I guess we have to educate the entire institution about how and where to discard items appropriately.
Today was especially annoying because there was food and liquid in EVERY SINGLE trash can that I chucked. People wonder why we have a rodent problem and the answer is that there is always food where it shouldn’t be. If people only ate where they are supposed to then maybe we could control the problem. Oh! What do I know.
Day One Hundred & Forty-two: 4/20/2023
Trash! My job is trash and I’m just curious what some of these people are thinking when they’re discarding their items into the bins. I thought we were making strides as a team. The team that is The Denver School of the Arts, except today I was done with the bullshit. When the trash is full, stop putting shit in it, or actually on top of the already full trash. I get very frustrated when I see a tower of trash, or trash castle as I call it. Specifically, where it isn’t supposed to be. THE LIBRARY!
At least I’ll have the next few days off. My mother is visiting and I took Friday and Monday off. I’m going to spend the weekend as myself, The Teal Fairy will be shelved for the weekend while I enjoy myself. I’ve been putting in a bit of overtime and I’m going to embrace the time away with so much contentment I might even smile in some selfies.
