A friend of mine coined the title "computer janitor" and this picture fits it pretty well. A family member asked if I could fix this problematic computer. I think I found the problem. If you own a cat, this is about a year's worth of fur. The front fan had much more than this.
Another 80 megapixel photo.
It was very scary to take this picture, because it was so dark and empty, and a janitor was walking around and talking to himself. I snapped this picture and tried to leave, but the nearest doors were locked! I was trapped in the Amsterdam Mall with a crazy man! I tried all the doors and eventually found one that was unlocked.
don't let anyone fool you, thirteen hours is a long time in a car. passing time with audiobooks helps! Some.
well into book one of "the janitors". seems like it's going to be a great series.

Everything you need to know about hiring a commercial cleaning company
So you’ve decided your company could benefit from using hired commercial cleaners rather than your own employees. Now what?
The process of finding a commercial cleaning services company that’s right for your business is worth taking some time figuring out. Otherwise, you could end up in the boat you started in, with inefficient use of money and resources.
First consider the needs of your business, as far as cleaning goes. It might be helpful to mentally go through a day in the life of your business, from morning to night, to see what cleaning needs will have to be met.
Another method would include mentally going through the physical space of your company. Go from ceiling to floor and consider what would need cleaned and/or maintained in each area of the workplace. Using your collected observations, start making a list (it’s good to have a tangible reference point to work with).
You might also want to note how often you think commercial cleaners are needed. Granted, the commercial cleaning company you contact can give you a better idea of what will be needed, but you can do the math, too. Some work places get cleaned throughout the day, seven days a week. Others are kept up by employees and given one thorough clean each week, buffing the floors for example.
Next, you’ll have to figure out what your company can afford. Maybe you’ve already done this. While looking at your budget, keep in mind the areas where you’ll be saving money by hiring commercial cleaners (such as no longer paying your own employees for hours spent cleaning).
Once you have a better idea of what your needs are, and what you can afford, it’s time to start seeking out a commercial cleaning company that’s right for you. Some companies cover several states while others stay local. Some specialize in various cleaning areas — office cleaners, restaurant cleaners, warehouse cleaners and of course residential and hotel cleaners — while some companies cover a wider spectrum. It’s not necessarily better to go with one or the other; again, you should choose a company that works uniquely with your own. As long as your needs are met.
When looking for a company, bear in mind that they should be protected by an insurance plan. You do not want your company to be held responsible should an accident happen.
You also want to make sure that you’re hiring a quality company. Because some companies have the attitude that anyone and everyone can clean, you should seek out a professional company who trains its employees thoroughly. When contacting a company, it’s OK to ask questions about their employees, to be sure you aren’t hiring people who can clean as well as the employees already working at your store. Commercial cleaning companies will have the proper cleaning equipment and products, but they need to have the skills and experience, too.
When contacting commercial cleaning companies, tell them your needs, and they will assist from their end. They’re experts at knowing the finer details of commercial cleaning, such as how many cleaners will be needed for your job and how long the jobs will take, which are of course interconnected.

Lincoln survives the assassination as his seat filler, Mr. Peanut, mistakenly has his head blown off by Booth, eager to complete the deed. Thus splattering audience members and the stage with buckets of peanut butter and the remnants of poor Mr. Peanut. No actual peanuts were harmed in the making of this MOC.
After the theatre clears, the janitor begins cleaning up the sorry mess. Mr. Harry Burnett Reese experiences a new taste sensation during the event when peanut butter ends up on his chocolate. This gives him an idea!

listening to john maus - the silent chorus
John Maus (born February 23, 1980) is an American composer and political philosophy and theory instructor at the University of Hawaiiʻi at Mānoa.
Born and raised in the small town of Austin, Minnesota, his first experiments with music were at an early age—in his band the Janitors and by playing guitar for his church. In the early ’00s he performed with Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti, and more recently has released two self-produced albums of his own: “Songs” (2006), and “Love is Real” (2007).

St. Josaphat Roman Catholic Church is a Roman Catholic church located at 715 East Canfield Street in Detroit, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 and designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1985. Since 2013, it has been one of two churches that comprise Mother of Divine Mercy Parish.
In 1889, the Polish community of St. Albertus Roman Catholic Church was outgrowing the capacity of the church, and the parish of St. Josaphat was started on June first[3] to serve the burgeoning community. The church is named after St. Josaphat Kuntsevych, a Greek Catholic priest, who became archbishop of Polotsk, Poland (now Belarus) in 1617. He was martyred in 1623 and canonized in 1867, thus it is likely that this parish, founded only 22 years later, was among the first to bear his name.
The church was located on Canfield not far west of the Sweetest Heart Of Mary Roman Catholic Church. It is possible that the choice of location was intended to compete with Sweetest Heart, which was at the time a Polish Catholic church unsanctioned by the diocese. On February 2, 1890, parishioners dedicated the first building of St. Josaphat, a combination church and school.[3] However, in the next decade, the church grew to over 1,000 families under the leadership of Father Razadkowski.[5] In response, Razadkowski raised funds to build the current church. The structure opened in 1901, along with a rectory and janitor's home. A school was built in the 1920s.
By 1960, the Polish community that had once attended the church had scattered to the suburbs. The school was closed and demolished, and St. Josaphat struggled with dwindling membership and the upkeep of the aging church. However, the parish began a building rehabilitation program, and it continues to serve the Polish community.[4]
In 2004, St. Josaphat became the home for the Archdiocese of Detroit's first regular celebrations of the Tridentine Latin Mass since the liturgical reforms following the Second Vatican Council. This ceased in 2016, when responsibility for this service was entrusted to the Institute of Christ the King at the St. Joseph Oratory in the city.

Janitor is derived from the Latin word Janus meaning "doorkeeper" (see also building superintendent). A female janitor was formerly called a janitress. (The title custodian is sometimes given to janitors merely as a term of higher respect, however, generally speaking, custodians tend to have higher salaries, and more responsibilities. They may also be required to receive training and licensing in various fields [e.g., Hazmat, CPR, Boiler Operations, etc.], depending on their employer and the specific nature of their job. In these respects a custodian may be considered to be different from a janitor.) In some settings janitors are called housekeepers or housekeeping staff and in others they are referred to as maintenance or maintenance staff.
Roberts Sedul, a former seaman and boxer, worked as the janitor of a building in Liepaja. Before the war he was on friendly terms with a Jewish resident of the building, David Zivcon, and had promised to help him in time of need.
After the German occupation, Zivcon was put in the ghetto with the other Jews of the town. He was an expert technician and was therefore employed by the Germans as an electrician. It was during his work, while he was doing repair work in a German apartment, that he came upon photos of the killings of the Liepaja Jews on the seashore. With the help of a photographer friend in the ghetto Zivcon made copies and buried them in the ground.
In October 1943 David Zivcon decided that the situation had become too dangerous and that it was time to go into hiding. He fled from the ghetto with his wife. They were joined by another couple, and all four appeared on Sedul’s doorstep. Sedul welcomed his friend and the unannounced guests, and arranged shelter for them behind a concealed partition in the building's cellar. They were to remain there and not to see daylight until liberation 500 days later.
Eventually the hiding Jews were joined in the cellar by another three men. They were jewelers who had been left behind, after the ghetto’s liquidation, to work for the Germans. Sedul had offered them his help, thus bringing the number of Jews in his care to seven. Providing food for so many people in wartime was a great challenge. Since some of the Jews hiding in his cellar were expert workmen, they did different repair work, which enabled Sedul to earn additional money and pay for their food.
In April 1944 Sedul brought another three Jews to the cellar. They had been part of the work detail kept by the Germans for cleaning-up assignments in a military base in the Liepaja area. Aaron Vesterman, described how they knocked on Seduls door and were warmly received by the couple. They were offered food and Sedul gave them a gun and took them down to the cellar where they were surprised to find the other hiding Jews.
A week later Riva, David Zivcon’s sister in law, came along with her three-year-old child, Ada. Her husband had been killed as soon as the Germans had entered Liepaja, on 24 July 1941. Before he went into hiding, his brother, David Zivcon, told Riva that if she ever needed help, she could try Sedul. Probably for the sake of security, he didn’t reveal that he himself was planning to hide with his Latvian acquaintance. Riva, had survived in the Liepaja ghetto with her daughter, and was then sent to the Riga ghetto. She somehow managed to escape before the final liquidation of the ghetto, and returned to Liepaja. All the Jews had by then been killed, but she remembered the name her brother in law had given her, and came to Sedul. He took her in, and when he took her to the cellar to join the others, she was surprised to find David Zivcon.
Fearing that the child would give up their hiding place, Sedul decided that he needed to place here somewhere else. He found a safe shelter for her with Otilija Schimelpfening, a widow of German origin. Schimelpfening changed the child’s name to Gertrude and told her neighbors that the little girl was a relative that had lost her parents. It seems that Sedul did not tell Schimelpfening that the child’s mother was alive, and when the war ended and Riva Zivcon appeared to take her daughter back, it was painful for Otilija Schimelpfening to part from the child she had loved and cared for. As a result the two women did not keep in touch in the years to follow.
Sedul took care not only of the physical well-being of his wards, but also made sure to keep up their spirits. In order to alleviate Riva’s worry about her daughter and the pain of separation, he would visit the child, make sure that she was well taken care of and also took photos of her which he would bring to her mother.
Sedul did not live to see the day of liberation. On March 10, 1945 he was killed by a Russian shell. His wife, Johanna, continued to care for the hiding Jews until the end of the war. After liberation the eleven Jews emerged from the cellar. David Zivcon retrieved the copies of the photos of the massacre of the Liepaja Jews from where he had hidden them. Thus Sedul had saved not only the lives of eleven Jews, but also the evidence about the murder of the entire Jewish community of Liepaja.
In 1981 Yad Vashem conferred the title of Righteous Among the Nations on Robert and Johanna Sedul.
Twenty-five years later, and only after her mother died, Ada Zivcon-Israeli applied to have her rescuer, Otilija Schimelpfening, honored.

Haha, seems we haven't done our work so well after all. ;)

The rising numbers of junior students from the outer space colonies led to serious challenges for those responsible for cleanliness and sanitation.
