When you first get into the world of the custodial arts, I’d have to assume you think the world is all sunshine and rainbows, clogged toilets and puke-stained floors. Rarely do people speak of the dangers and risks that come along with wearing that blue uniform with pride. Everyone just wants to always talk about all the glory that being a janitor entails. About what an artistic craft it is as your mop is your paint brush and the filthy floor is your canvas. But here’s a sad glimpse into reality for everyone who thinks that just anyone can become a janitor all willy-nilly. One moment you think you’re minding your own business cleaning up aisle 7, the next you find yourself in a tussle with some gangbangers and it turns out that you’re mopping for your life. And it has nothing to do with who you are as a person, but everything to do with what others think that blue jumpsuit stands for. I thought we were past this as a people, but boy was I wrong.
