I like them clean

One of the good things about working in this building is that we always have clean toilets. And that to me is very important. The cleaners come about three times a day which is actually quite good. Keep them toilets clean, I say…

Once in a while we do get *shock-shock, horror-horror* moments. Imagine rushing to the toilet (you’ve been holding it for quite some time). You expect to just barge in and do your business. But wait, you can’t do so because *surprise*, there’s crap floating in the toilet bowl. I don’t know why and how people can forget to flush toilets. Just because the toilets have sensors doesn’t simply mean you can just wipe off your ass, pull up your pants and walk off. There should be a flush sound once you stand up so if there isn’t, you should know there’s something wrong. It doesn’t take more than 2 seconds to just turn and check if the sensor is working, right? If you’ve done your business and just realized that you can’t flush the toilet, then you are basically in deep shit. We can’t really blame you there BUT, at least have the courtesy to put a sign on the door and say “Toilet not working. Do not enter”..or something to that effect. At least we are forewarned about it and don’t get caught in surprise.

Coming back to the cleaners… they’re mostly from Indonesia. The ladies are nice and a friendly bunch. There’s this particular cleaner who I think is either a very happy person or really likes her job. Every time she comes to clean the toilets, she never fails to sing. And I tell you, she’ll really sing her heart out. It’s rather loud too. We are at our workstation and we can here her sing some Indo songs. The first time we kind of laughed about it but after 3, 4 times it got irritating. It is a distraction especially during the times when we’re really trying to concentrate. This is an office for goodness sake. It would be fine if she’s got a great voice and it’s a popular song but seriously…..even my 3 year old kid can sing better. I couldn’t stand it one day and asked her “Awak memang suka nyanyi ke?”. She replied “Ohhh..Bila sendirian, saya suka nyanyi, kak”. Well, that doesn’t mean she can sing so loud, right? *shhheeesshhh*

Anyway people, always keep your toilet clean. A filthy toilet makes you feel horrible. Just imagine those germs spreading around. Yuckadoo......
