Just Because...

So here I am sitting at the computer when I should most definately be saying a few little prayers and then laying my head on my pillow, oh worldly distractions!

I would like to give you all a little look into the summer job that will make everyone appreciate the job they have/do not have at this present time. At my worksite we have an "information trailer" which is actually our office/lunchroom/everything and anything we want it to be and on the outside it is decorated by billions(not literally) of little posters that kids have made. Anyways sometime during the last 10 years and throughout the people in management thought it would be great to "tape" these on the outside of the building with duct and double-sided tape. Anyways to make a long story short throughout the wind/rain/snow/ice/sleet/hot sun and 10 years the tape has left marks on the building...

this is where I come into the picture..

I show up today and on the table are 2 bottles and 2 jay-cloths. One bottle is "goo-gone" and the other is "brake cleaner" and this got me to wondering what was going on. My boss then pipes up to let me know that I have been given the job of scrubbing 10 years worth of tape marks off the outside of the trailer using brake cleaner/goo-gone and a jay-cloth! I wanted to scream not to mention there were record "highs" today and the trailer attracts the sun...I nearly melted....The trailer is not completely clean yet but does look amazing (my boss keeps telling me) but I still cannot get over how hard it is to get 10 year old duct tape out from under your nails..

Oh bother...
