My Dad had a rule each year for the first day of school...

Introduce yourself to the Janitor, Custodian whatever he/she is called at your school, get their name, write it down, memorize it. Everytime you see him you address him by name and greet him. You always say thank you and he gets a gift every Christmas....my father was firm on these things. This carried over to my jobs and everywhere I work, these folks are always the first I look for and intro myself too, often; infact, always they become my friends.

Today I found out one of my dear friends former cleaner guy from my office died, strange way I found out, but he died a couple months ago and I had no idea.

Alex was a great guy, made me laugh, walked me to my car when I stayed late, and one time when he heard me bitching about putting these ridiculous file boxes together he offered to do it...I went out to lunch, when I came back he packed my office from floor to ceiling with boxes, it was so funny....R.I.P. ALEX....

Note: To all....even if you never see your office cleaner or meet them, find out their name, take up a collection at Christmas, they deserve that...besides they clean your toilets at work for you...they more than deserve it!!!
