I hate cliffhangers.
Finish the damn story
Anyway, I never worked in a job that was as bad as the community service that you had to perform. I was a baker, which had some customer-service portions to it, but for the most part I was respected. I think. Besides, the white coat helped (people always respect you if you wear a white coat...).
Reading your above story really gave me a chance to see what people who work janitorial jobs have to go through. I never looked down at them - even in high school, I was always friendly with the janitors and night cleaners (the janitors
always have all the inside information on the inside happenings). Now, in my suit-and-tie job, the janitorial staff still commands respect from me. The do a job that I would hate, in conditions that are far worse than anything I'd be able to stomach. Sure, some of them have poor education, or might be mentally handicapped, but a job well-done is still the most important thing in deeming respect. All human beings are still human, and a job should not correlate to self-worth.
