I was leaving the office late the other night, and chatted with the cleaners. They are always here late, doing an excellent (but I suspect, largely unknown) job.
I asked them what time they usually finished. Around 11:30pm.
Is this your second job? Yes, they turn up at the office block around 6:30pm most nights, after finishing their day job.
They work hard. But they are ‘just cleaners’. Nobody really takes much notice of how hard they work.
It struck that they are the chief entropy fighters in our day. Combatting the chaos that continues on, starting small each morning and growing enormous if left uncontained.
Thank you for your important work.
