Note From The Night Cleaner
Earbuds, gloves
Backpack vac
Magic Eraser
I know your office
Better than
It knows itself
Shelves
Just out of reach
Of the longest attachment
If you can’t dust it
Does it exist?
We are out of wipes

Of course dust exists if you can’t see it! And not only that, out-of-reach dust contributes to poor air quality and has serious health consequences. OK I get the point that the cleaner is invisible and seen to be magical instead of appreciated for his or her work blah blah blah. But from an admin point of view, I don’t know if the cleaner should be billing hours for creative writing. Bottom line: this office needs a longer vacuum attachment.
