To be fair, contemplating the trials of being a custodian is not something that constantly crosses our minds or, when it happens to flit through our thoughts, is a dramatic or news worthy event compared to a shootout involving police or firefighters saving peoples’ lives.

Why custodians and other service professionals deserve more respect
4:44 PM, Feb. 29, 2012

There are many unsung heroes in our society who do jobs for little or no thanks and recognition. Everyone knows to revere firemen and police officers, but one is hard pressed to find people who proudly voice their admiration or sincere respect for custodial staff or waste management professionals. To be fair, contemplating the trials of being a custodian is not something that constantly crosses our minds or, when it happens to flit through our thoughts, is a dramatic or news worthy event compared to a shootout involving police or firefighters saving peoples’ lives. Though the realization may not have ever occurred to us, the truth is that custodial staff, here at FSU and anywhere else, actually plays a very important role in keeping our society running smoothly.
I am no expert on what it is like to be a custodian, but even my own limited observations have shown me just how much crap they have to put up with—no pun intended. There are standard job requirements for a custodian, such as mopping or sweeping and basic cleaning, but there are often unnecessary tasks they must spend time on created by us, the people they are cleaning up after, which unfairly burden people who already work with little to no thanks given by those they are helping. Those burdens would include time-consuming tasks, such as dealing with the mess left by residents in the same hall in which I live. Messes such as: shaving cream on a door, done as retribution for an earlier prank; dust all over the floor of the hallway, left behind when a rubber balloon or ball filled with flour or powder exploded while being used for catch; and, as the proverbial cherry on top of this oh-so-wonderful sundae, a person who serially sh*ts in the showers. Yes, you read that last one correctly; a serial shower sh*tter.
Sanitary concerns and ridiculous immaturity aside, the seeming laundry list of time consuming and extraneous tasks serve to throw the difficulties of custodial work at this university or anywhere into what I hope is sharp relief. The custodial staff and resident assistants’ jobs are difficult and under appreciated as it is, and we all do not need to add to that with insensitivity and stupid antics that leave messes in our wake.
Whether you are one of the people guilty of that casual and insulting indifference who adds to the problems, or an office worker who only bumps into the custodians when working late, or someone who simply who does give much thought to janitors, showing them the respect they deserve is surprisingly simple.
Ask the custodian his or her name when you see them; stop for a quick chat about sports or something on the news; spare 30 seconds out of your day to thank the person who makes sure the building you live or work in is clean and pleasant to be in. The custodians will likely thank you for it, and you will be able to go about your day knowing that you did a basic courtesy and made yourself all the better for it.

…..item 2)…. Mail Online … www.dailymail.co.uk/news … ‘Everyone can do this’: American memory champion reveals secrets to his incredible total recall
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
UPDATED: 10:38 EST, 24 March 2012
www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2119747/USA-memory-champ…
He can memorize the order of a full deck of shuffled cards in 63 seconds and more than 300 numbers in just five minutes, yet Nelson Dellis claims he has no special or photographic inherent memory.
The 2011 USA Memory Championship winner, who is defending his title in New York today, says that anyone can do what he does.
The 28-year-old from Miami claims that all it takes, like any other physical challenge, is training and practice.

One of Dellis’ goals is to convince people that they can do the kinds of things he does. Another is to raise money by climbing mountains for Alzheimer’s disease research.
Deliis was motivated to improve his memory after seeing his grandmother Josephine deteriorate and gradually lose her memory to Alzheimer’s.
‘I have this memory of sitting at a table having dinner with her, my grandfather and me. And she said, ‘When is Nelson coming here?” Dellis recalled, reports CNN.
‘I was sitting right in front of her. … It never hit me like that.’.

Dellis began researching methods to improve the mind online and learned about memory competitions.
Mental athletes claiming to have average memories would use mnemonics – such as associating numbers with images – to quickly memorize vast amounts of words, cards and numbers.
‘For people to say, ‘I have an average memory and can memorize a deck of cards,’ I needed to see if I could do it,’ Dellis told CNN.
He began using audio books by past champions and entered the 2009 USA Memory Championship, where he failed to make an impact.
Then Josephine died in the summer of 2009.

Family incentive: Mr Dellis, with his championship trophy at the weekend, started memory training and his charity after his late grandmother developed Alzheimer’s

.
‘It really struck me (when she died) that my memory was something I had to take care of. I was suddenly afraid for myself … I wanted to do something for myself, for her.’ he told CNN.
At the 2010 USA Memory Championship, Dellis surprised everyone by finishing in the top-three.
And in 2011 he broke his old speed numbers record, getting 248 in five minutes as well as breaking the 87 second speed cards record of two-time U.S. champion Ron White, memorizing a deck in 63 seconds.

‘My message is: Everyone can do this,’ said Dellis, who tells people he used to be horrible with names, reports CNN.
‘People, names, dates, numbers – put it all together, it’s almost like I have different weapons to fight against things that come into my head all day long.’
Regarding his fight against Alzheimer’s, Dellis plans to make another attempt at climbing Mt. Everest in 2013, with a goal of raising 0,000.
Preparing for today’s competition, Dellis has been training for five hours daily.
In practice, his best speed cards time is now 33.13 seconds, and his best five-minute digit number is 340 – still far from the world records of 21.19 seconds and 500 digits, reports CNN.
