— Oh hi, how are you?
— I’m good, thank you. How are you?
— How’s the job?
— It’s great, actually.
— Well that’s … that’s the diplomatic thing to say.
— No it’s good – I mean, it’s working out good.
— About cleaning toilets!
— I guess you could say that, I guess.
— I mean!
— True, but it’s the library, you know? This building! Me, I’m not complaining.
— That’s true. That’s great. You’re surrounded by art.
— It’s an inspiring environment.
— That’s… You’re onto something there, it’s very creative. That’s a good attitude to have, to think of it like working in a creative place every day.
— That’s right.
— I mean, it’s a lot of bullshit, people are full of shit when they talk about their jobs, right? Like it’s—
— Right, ma’am.
— And I mean, I know you’re cleaning it, but… somebody’s gotta do it, right? And, well, housekeeping, they can have a really bad attitude.… They can.
— I guess so.
— They can. But you, you know, I want to thank you. For your energy. For leaving it behind you, in every stall you go into. In every room.
— Okay, thank you, ma’am.
— We’re lucky to have you and your attitude.
— I try my best.
— You have the best day!
— I try.
— You will, won’t you?
— Thank you, ma’am.
