Woot! End of the week again! Yup! It's here once again! Haha! And I have to work overtime today... :( Eeeks! Bummer! Never mind, I want to get my mind off this migration project anyway. So, I might as well get it over and done with. Once and for all.

Luckily, I have my MP3 player here today. Can groove to Gnarls Barkley while working late. Hopefully, the servers don't go kaput on me during the migration!!

I wrote an email to the town council today. The cleaners at my neighbourhood have unfortunately gotten my attention (again). This time, I decided that it was to be the last straw. I will not keep quiet anymore. I have to COMPLAIN!!

Here's the situation.

The cleaner 'assigned' to my block sweeps the floors everyday (almost). But, if you were to pay attention to how he does it, you will definitely be pissed off. How does he do it? Well, he drags the broom behind him and not making any obvious efforts to actually 'sweep' the floor. KNN!!! Even the lifts are also not properly cleaned! WTF!! Nabeh!! I pay S&C charges for what??

The only place he seems to be cleaning is the floor just outside one of my neighbour's flat. This neighbour of mine had 'nagged' at his way of sweeping before. And since then, the cleaner made very sure to clean his area. Maybe I should do the same??

Guess what Janet saw this morning?! Said cleaner walked past my flat, dragging his broom as usual, and started sweeping the floor outside this neighbour's house. Not did he sweep the floor, he started picking and re-arranging the shoes and slippers for him!! What the fuck!?!? So, does it mean that I have to make noise at him and offer him cigarettes to make him get his ass around to sweeping the floor properly??

I am not jealous at him doing this for my neighbour but isn't it his job to be sweeping the floor for the whole of this block? I mean, you are a cleaner, so you clean the place right? KNN! Think about it also made me fed up!

I have already made plans to try to take a video of him doing his 'broom-walk' this weekend. I will make this fucker regret being lazy. I know that some may argue that it is everyone's responsibility to keep the neighbourhood clean - YES I definitely agree. But in this case, I am talking about him doing his job for what his job is. I am not arguing about whose fault it is that there is litter around the area or who should be held responsible for causing the litter.

This is about a cleaner not doing his job!
