Statistics and other oddities

Well, I'm working on finding the life expectancy stats to back up my claim that the poor die early.

This is what I have so far: according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, published 2003: In 2001 21% of the poor and 15.5% of the near poor reported that their health was fair or poor as opposed to only 6.2% of the nonpoor.

A few notes on today's housekeeping "experience".

Yesterday when I went home I could barely speak and my throat and nose were incredibly gunky from breathing in powdered cholerine bleach "Ajax". So this morning I spent quite a bit of time hunting up a face mask to cover my nose and mouth when I work. That was horrible, the sweat, the pinching, but atlest i don't have to worry about kiling myself. Though, when I was walking down the hall for my 10min. break the haze of chlorox was so strong I could smell it through my mask. The fumes and bleach dust make my eyes itch. I'm going to have to start working in a hazmat suit.

Did I mention that Claudette doesn't have the guys clean bathrooms, because they are guys?! ugh

She did say that she brought us special drinks but left them in her car, but she'll bring them tomorrow. We'll see . . .

I must have done something to please her this morning, though, because this afternoon all I had to do was sweep. That was nice. A lot of walking, but nice. :)

All today, especially this morning, provided no opportunities for scrimshanking. Such a shame.

One note from this morning:

10:11 am I can already feel a thin layer of Ajax forming on my face.

With that pleasant thought I leave you until tomorrow.
