Two different approaches

Me: ....So, since we're going to be having this big event here, the director and some other people from library administration will be here that day, so just a heads up. 
Staff member #1: So you're saying, clean up the library and all the trash in the parking lot that morning right before they get here?
Me: Well, actually, maybe if they see the library how it normally is they will understand why we keep telling them we need more custodial service...
Staff member #2: So you're saying, keep all the trash I normally pick up in the parking lot, and dump it all out the morning before they get here?
Me: Um, well...
Staff member #1: Nooooooo!

  1. Our management would yell at us for having it be messy and would cut our maintenance budget if it was clean

    1. Ugh.

      Our director complained that we hadn't reported an overflowing dumpster *belonging to the building across the street* and said that the step stool we leave by our water fountains for kids to use was an eyesore and I needed to toss it. She promised to get us a newer, nicer one, but there's been no sign of that so far.
