One of the new jobs that I received was at a hotel, doing housekeeping. It is a lot of hard work to clean a room. Even worse, I am cleaning up a mess that I never made. It is eyeopening to see how people live, and how filthy they can be. I clean rooms in an extended stay hotel... which I must say is rather interesting. There are some pretty normal people there, like construction workers, or people who need a place to stay while they are building their house, and then there are not so normal people.
For some reason I find cleaning therapeutic. I like it, but at the same time I don't. I came to the conclusion that I do today because out of all the jobs that I get, I am most qualified to be a janitor. I really am qualified and could do other things, but yet I sign up to clean up after people. Now I am in housekeeping, which is pretty much the same thing. And its not something that I do in passing, I am pretty good at it, which mostly comes from paying attention to detail. I am a little bit slower than others but that could be for several reasons.
Anyways, today I was cleaning a few rooms. I mostly got the bathroom portion of things because I don't know, I just picked them. I came up with a list of reasons why cleaning is good for you.
#1 - Health
Lets face it, living in filth is way unhealthy for you. Disease builds up, mold can grow, things start getting transmitted from bacteria, etc. A whole house of people can just pass around one illness because it isn't clean. Or several people can get infections or have problems due to mold growing some where. For a healthy life, clean regularly.
#2 - Appearance
Who likes walking into a dirty house? Or going over to their friends house who's is dirty? Ever been some where where you have to wonder if the cup they just gave you to drink out of really was clean? A clean pad can impress the ladies, and help your mom not worry so much about you as you are away.
#3 - Productivity
I have met very few people who never have the time to do some simple cleaning. It only takes a few extra seconds to hang up your clothes, wash your dish, and if properly cleaned and maintained, cleaning a bathroom or vacuuming could take just a few extra minutes. But it makes you feel good to have done the work. You feel like you have accomplished something, especially when you make something dirty to nice and clean.
#4 - Therapeutic
Cleaning gives time for your to think, clear your mind, or work through a problem in your mind. It doesn't take a lot of thought to figure out how to clean something, A little soap and a lot of scrubbing does a lot. It makes you feel good about yourself.
Anyways, here are a few reasons as to why I think you should clean.

Eric, if you weren't already married, I'd snatch you right up. All this cleaning talk will sure sweep a girl off her feet.
