I would like to introduce you to my friend Herman. Herman is the janitor for the office I work at. He doesn’t mind being called that because he takes a lot of pride in what he does. In fact, Herman cares a little too much.
Call it being driven or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, but Herman has a hard time sleeping if there is even a chance that dirt is present in the building. He used to live a few blocks but he ended up spending most of his time here so they converted a storage closet into a one-room bungalow for him.
Herman gets up at four o’clock because he likes to dust and vacuum in the morning before people arrive. He says that morning dust is the worst kind because it ruins the day. He also vacuums and dusts at night to take care of whatever was brought in that day.
Herman vacuums so much that we regularly have to replace the carpet but nobody has been sick for like 3 years, so the company thinks it’s a fair trade.
Also if Herman finds a spot on a desk you might as well order a new surface for it because he is going to rub that spot clean through in a matter of weeks.
Herman is great at his job. Some people claim his is too good, but I don’t think there is such a thing. He is passionate, gets a great deal of satisfaction and often times cries when people spill coffee.
Heck he has even washed my hands before.
If you see him around give him a high-five. He is the best in the business.
