The Janitor's Job

The floors were a MAJOR bone of contention. I had discussions with the sales manager about them. I showed him the janitorial supply closet which contained no buffing machine, and told him that I was doing the best I could with a broom and mop. I even went and bought some of that "make your linoleum shine" stuff out of my own pocket to no avail. I would spend HOURS on the floors which is one reason why the job took me so long to complete. Once the salesmen understood that shiny floors were beyond my control, they stopped throwing the pennies. The floors really WERE bad news, and in the entire time I worked there, Eric came down with the buffing machine exactly once. His was a small outfit and he owned only two machines, both of which stayed up in Cripple Creek at the casinos.
