Hello everyone. It's been a long time and I have many new stories to tell.
For the members who have stuck with this since the beginning, i'll fill you in on some important events.
I'm still a Janitor but for a different company. I am the custodian for an AMD facility. I quit the janitor gig at the high school because of hour cuts and bad economy. I still have the tech job thank god.
I have 2 more years to go at Mitea (MIT) and i'm going to see if I can work on my thesis with AMD. (Intel would not accept...)
I banged the English teacher, however we didn't feel as strong as a connection afterwards. After an awkward month or so she quit and moved back south with her ex-boyfriend.
I have not slept with any students. Yes people have pooped in the urinals since our last talk. However, working at AMD has proven a challenge and some interesting stories.
That's a very brief run down of whats been going on.

Let the questions roll in, glad to be back.
Common Questions:
Q: when someone shits in the urinal what do you do
A: What I usually do is get a plastic bag and wrap the turd with it. I drop it into a black trash bag and dispose of it like any other peice of trash. I then get a hand held toilet bowl brush, and begin to get rid of the streak marks.
Then I finish it all off with some lemon scented toilet soap.
Q: How many janitors does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: 1.
Q: Are there any teenagers that surprised you that they treated you well and with respect. Like that your first impression was "punk" or something but actually was nice and friendly to you?
A: Yes, i actually have a couple of friends who sit with me during my lunchbreak and talk about computers and stuff. Sometimes they bring their laptops that have problems and have me fix it. They think im lying when I tell them I manage and run the schools Servers.
Q: Do you like your job?
A: Its a simple job, but its very much different than sitting behind 3 monitors analyzing server traffic and fixing hardware issues around the public schools. During the week im in a suit, and during the weekends im elbow deep in toilet water with a blue maintenance t shirt and jeans.
Q: What does it take to become a janitor?
A: Honesty and Dignity.
1.Do they let you peek in on the bulldozer processor plans?
2. Do you look through the trash looking for bad chip ideas?
Q: Do they let you peek in on the bulldozer processor plans?
A: I was briefed that if I where to leak any information about AMD's future projects that I could prosecuted and be sent to federal prison. There are certain areas that I don't have clearance to.
However, when cleaning around the workstations, I see a lot of Nvidia cards, notably the 5xx series. Some are torn apart along with ATI cards. Not sure what the deal is, reverse engineering maybe? I don't know much about circuit engineering.
Q: Do you look through the trash looking for bad chip ideas?
A: No, I did happen to find some perfectly good working Corsair XMS3 4GB each. :) That was a good day.
On another note, I was given his old ATI 4870x2 by a coworker there. I gave him a link to the original Ask a Janitor Thread. He found it hilarious and gave me the card as a welcoming gift. I also met Phil Rogers :)
1. Did you ever get JD?
Q: Did you ever get JD?
A: JD? i dont follow

1. Bummer man, but that reverse engineering idea makes me feel giddy for some reason.
2. Now I want to work as a janitor for places like this.
Q: Are you happy?
Q: Are you happy?
A: I am.
I have good a job(s), awesome friends and great health. I am a very lucky man.
I remember the last thread, that was awesome.
Q: How's the nerd percentage at AMD? You know, those stereotypical nerds with glasses and stuff..
How did you lose your virginity? (if you have at all)
Welcome back man! Your last thread was a joy to follow, and I'm sure this will be just as good. Really looking forward to reading some more answers.
The last thread was a riot! Glad to see your back :)
Q's
1. At my school we have a lovable janitor named Frank. During his breaks he likes to paint. Do you like art? Ever paint/draw anything cool?
2. What is one event at school that you thought would end terrible but pleasantly surprised you in the end.
[QUOTE=GhostxNote;29312897]Hello everyone. It's been a long time and I have many new stories to tell.[/QUOTE]
I don't have a question, but i gave you a heart for being awesome.
Oh my fuck you're back
When was the last thread again? Might have been '09 but I can't remember.
It's not your fault. It's not your fault, man... It's not your fault.
Q: How's the nerd percentage at AMD? You know, those stereotypical nerds with glasses and stuff..
A: About 100% nerd there. There is an incredibly cute Korean engineer who works there. I haven't moved in for the kill but we have waived to each other and smile pretty much every time we see each other. Oh man guys, this is going to be good. I also met an older women (40's) who is into Quantum physics and cosmic science.
The story goes by me cleaning the cubicles and seeing "The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory".
I left a sticky note on the book telling her she had great taste and gave her a list of books I recommended. Well apparently it didn't take to long for people in that area to notice me. Must have been weird to see this janitor who was into this kinda stuff. Anyways, a couple days later this lady comes up to me. "Are you the guy who left that note on my desk?" she said in a stern voice. For a while I thought she was angry and i started to feel uncomfortable.
I don't know why the universe we live in has me encounter ladies with huge breasts. This women had HUGE breasts.
So as I was feeling uncomfortable by the situation and staring at her mumbas, she finally said "I LOVE MICHIO KAKU AND HYPERSPACE!" I was relieved and we began to chat. It wasn't long (next day) that she invited me and her husband to go to a Michio Kaku lecture at the Boston Museum of Science. Unfortunately the tickets sold out, so she invited me over for dinner. We sat on her porch drinking beers and staring at the night. Her kids where playing out in the yard, husband cooking some delicious BBQ. What an awesome family. Anyways, didn't mean to go off on a long ass story, or did it?
Yes.....100% nerds.
Q: How did you lose your virginity?
A: I was along the age of 14-15. Nothing special. Just went to a party after school. Did a bunch of drugs, drank, then slept with some chick. Those where not very glamorous times.
Q: At my school we have a lovable janitor named Frank. During his breaks he likes to paint. Do you like art? Ever paint/draw anything cool?
A: I absolutely love art. I'm not good at it at all, but whenever I paint/doodle/sketch I feel a calm over my self. Its incredibly humbling. I'm going to go paint now.
Salvador Dali fan.
Q: What is one event at school that you thought would end terrible but pleasantly surprised you in the end.
A: This was a couple years back. An old colleague of mine was coming to my school for a presentation. He was a guest speaker for WPI and it's programming courses. Anyways, I used to know the guy. For lack of a better word, hes what most people would call a class A self righteous asshat. I have absolutely no tolerance for behavior like that so I knew that once he saw me he was going to bug the shit out of me. Anyways, he arrives and I'm hiding in the janitorial closet. I then noticed that the closer door window was not covered. He eventually saw me and I looked like a fool. I fell into a bucket of old water that I had forgotten to empty out the night before. He comes rushing to me and says, "HEY?! Buddy is that you!?!?" I open the door and in my soggy khaki jeans i reply "Hey, how have you been?". He responds hastily " What happened!? You need to change out of those pants! Here I brought some extra on the flight." Mind you, the guy is at lease 5 inches shorter than me and about 40 pounds lighter (incredibly skinny). So here I was, thinking this guy would look like a asshole but helped me out in an incredibly awkward situation. We sat in the gym and started exchanging info and telling each other of how we have been. He has changed a lot, and for the better. He runs a non-profit out of Texas and lives out of a trailer park. He told me that after he graduated he didn't want to pursue his dream of becoming a Google employee. I have gone down to Texas with him to help him out with his non-profit and he is as happy as can be. I guess that was a pleasant surprise.
Takes dignity does it?
heh
Wow. women with more brain mass than already ample breast mass. That I must see.
What's the culture like at AMD? Is it similar to what we see of Google etc?

Yes.....100% nerds.[/QUOTE]
fuck astronaut
i want to be a janitor
Q. Do you get in to Star Wars broomstick fights with your fellow janitors?
you're my hero man
Do you get laid more often?
Q: Do you have any sort of weapon hidden somewhere where you work?
Q: Whats the most deadly weapon in the janitor's arsenal in your opinion?
or
Q: Whats the item would you go for first as a weapon if you were, say, attacked by zombies while cleaning up a urinal?
Q: Have you ever been tempted to hit a student who's really pissed you off? Like disresepcting you.
Q: What's the culture like at AMD? Is it similar to what we see of Google etc?
A: Its a much dryer atmosphere that Google. Just cubicles, a lot of labs. Since my badge allows me 5 minutes to be in a Lab, the resources they have are incredible. From what I can tell at least. Most of the people there are older (40-60). However there are some young people. Most of them work out of the IT department and ATI section. Google and AMD are 2 different company's from 2 different generations and who require 2 very different credentials
Q: Do you get laid more often?
A: :[
Q: Have you ever been tempted to hit a student who's really pissed you off? Like disresepcting you.
A: Yes, many times.
Q: Do you have any sort of weapon hidden somewhere where you work?
A: Baseball bat in office.
Q: Whats the most deadly weapon in the janitor's arsenal in your opinion? or Whats the item would you go for first as a weapon if you were, say, attacked by zombies while cleaning up a urinal?
A: Defending against humans I would use my wrench. The thing is huge. Against zombies I would set a perimeter around me of a chemical compound I use that eats away waxed floors. The stuff is ultra slippery and if introduced to open wounds, could prove to be very deadly. That is, if its a slow moving zombie. 28 Days Later type zombies would probably get the duel wielding lawn mower blades taped to my arms. I would then spin around like a ballerina on the slippery floors. decapitating every single one of those little flesh eating rascals.
Q: Do you get in to Star Wars broomstick fights with your fellow janitors?
A: The head custodian and I would do stuff like that. Except we would do it to the guidance office. Us with our mops and them with their rulers. It was no match.
Well off I go to work! I'll be on later tonight to answer all your questions. Take care.
They were no match for the power of the mop side.
Q: Are you like Will Hunting from the movie Good Will Hunting?
Q: Does the janitor job pay well enough for university?
Q: Has someone ever broken your mop in two, only to be met with a swift kick to the face/balls?
Q: What's the most disgusting thing you've ever had to clean up?
hot damn i remember you, you're awesome bro
umm err question, whats your favourite part about the job?
