The Midnight Dust Destroyers!

At eleven o'clock at night, all students cuddle up in their beds with a book to study, and perhaps even a hot chocolate in their hand. But outside in the dark, many quiet figures emerge from the dorms and run all over, disappearing into shadowy doorways across the campus. I am among these mysterious people that most people don't realize their existence, we are called the custodial crew!!! I work every night from eleven to twelve, cleaning! I have gone from a girl who doesn't even make her bed in the morning, to someone who walks past a random shelf in a public building, sees dust, and wishes I had a cloth with me to clean it!

I am assigned to cleaning the science building, which is very exciting! I just found out that upstairs in the building is even a fish aquarium! This discovery gave me great joy since before then I saw no other living animal except the over population of cockroaches! I say living animals because there are plenty of stuffed animals in glass cases along the wall. Other then animals, both living and dead, I see apparatuses of all shapes and sizes sat throughout the rooms! It is always fun guessing what they are for, or making up my own ideas of their various uses. My fellow custodials on my cleaning crew are a great bunch, we sing and laugh the night away.

The pictures are of my custodial crew, on a very special night called "Show and Wear" night, which happens every Saturday, and we have a themed dress up, in which we clean. Yes, public safety who walks through the building at night sure seems some interesting sights sometimes!!!
