The cleaning lady

Yeah, I should not be at work this late, but it happenes from time to time..
Anyhow, she still doesn't know where the switches for each light are, so whenever she comes, lights start to flicker on off on off... Yeah, lightshow baby!! //read this in austin powers voice
I fear for people with epilepsy.. Yeah, I get it, push and toggle switches are mixed in pannel, but we do have a schema for each of them..ofc she doesn't use it..

And every goddamn time if I work later than when she leaves, she disturbes me to ask if I will turn off the lights when I leave.. NOoOooo, I will leave them on like an asshole.. :/ I once even wrote on the whiteboard in bigg letters 'yes, I will turn of the lights when I leave' and left it there for some days... coworkers were all puzzled/amused when they saw it.. //I know, shitty attitude on my part too, but I've repeated myself a dozen times already.. + I always turn off lights she actually manages to switch on and leave them like that, even the ones not in my part of office

And when she vacuums..well.. I usually get up and go on a cigarette break to give her space so she can do her job around my desk.. but she insists that I am not in her way and I don't need to leave... Well I prefer not to be proded and poked with the hose, thank you..

So yeah, fun times... O.o especially if working late due to some production fuckups I need to fix ASAP.. :/

    I wonder is she got yelled at for leaving lights on one time. Sometimes people overcompensate when they get burned like that.

    @Demolishun Huh, maybe..but not at our company. I know we reported that some trash bins were left unattended and it didn't help, still some things are left uncleaned.. Oh well.. I don't envy her at all, but still it irks me at times..

    Well... That sucks! (at the bare minimum)

    PROTIP: Leave early :p

    In the first company I worked for, there was a teenage boy who was vacuuming the open space every other day. He would start at around 16:00 (!!!), and vacuum for like an hour. When I asked the management to postpone the cleaning to a more reasonable hour, they said this boy was coming after school to work, and they didn't want to keep him late.

    Damn cleaners, although they usually don't appear till fairly late (9-10pm), I've only a handful of cleaner appearances over my years.

    Wait a minute, there's more people around here from 87? This room just got crowded baby!
