  Thank you for the link to the psych commercial. Is that Talia Shire playing the role of the psych?

  tokyo (reuters) - cleanliness has long been next to godliness for the hygiene-conscious japanese, but fortune-tellers are now advising those who want to succeed in life to start by scrubbing the smallest room.. "cleaning the toilet to attract luck" published this month is the latest in a series of books advising readers on how to attract good fortune using a brush and an array of cleaning fluids.. "don't just wipe the floor, polish it," the book instructs.

  "it's important to maintain a positive mood while cleaning.".

  Can't beat a clean toilet, no matter what the reason.

  Hey I'm not going to argue with this!

  Stopping up your drains when you leave the house is good feng shui as well.

  This is good to know! <<makes mental note to do this before leaving for the mall>>

  No, no, no. This is So not useless. This is more like helpful. for the feng shui enthusiast.

  It is a great song isn't it? Everytime I hear it on the radio (which is usually in the car) I start bopping my head and thumping my fingers on the steering wheel.
  But I could never catch who sings it or what the name of it is.

  So I just spent the last 45 minutes trying to find it.

  It's a great work out tune, which is something I desperately need to get back to doing!!

  The lyrics are so cool.

  Full of hope for a depressing day!!

  Frannie: Yep that about sums it up, lmao!

  First of all, we were given inferior cleaning products to work with. They bought brand name cleaning supplies, cut them with water, about 50-50 and put them in plain bottles.

  Ok this would Really piss me off!!

  When the Overseer came in, he actually did a white glove test. He felt for dust in the nooks and crannies of evey stall and on top of divider walls. Any smears on glass and mirrors was unacceptble. What should have taken an hour to accomplish, took over three hours. One by one, my volunteers quietly disappeared, frustrated and disgruntled, leaving the chore of going back and forth between bathrooms to fewer and fewer people as the Overseer kept inspecting and finding problems.

  Oy, this sounds like an old boss of mine.

  On top of that, we weren't allowed to use the mop sinks in the janitor's closet. A "special" brother was assigned to take care of that. Then we needed to wash out trashcans out back at a can wash on the loading dock...except the handle to the hose bibb was missing. After asking around, I discovered that the handle was kept under lock and key in the Overseer's office. I had to go to him, sign out the handle (yes, I had to sign my name on a check out list) and when through, find him and hand him the handle. I was not allowed to leave it in the office.

  Oh sheeze. Out of all the things that could get stolen?!

  Needless to say, I never volunteered to work at an Assembly Hall ever again.

  I don't blame you in the least!

  I think they look for frustrated SS-officer wannabes to fill the position.

  Hey
  Don't write yourself off yet
  It's only in your head you feel left out
  Or looked down on
  Just try your best
  Try everything you can
  And don't you worry what they tell themselves When you're away
  
  It just takes some time
  Little girl
  You're in the middle of the ride
  Everything, everything will be just fine
  Everything, everything will be all right, all right
  
  Hey
  You know they're all the same
  You know you're doing better on your own
  So don't buy in
  Live right now
  Just be yourself
  It doesn't matter if that's good enough
  For someone else
  
  It just takes some time
  Little girl
  You're in the middle of the ride
  Everything, everything will be just fine
  Everything, everything will be all right, all right
  
  It just takes some time
  Little girl
  You're in the middle of the ride
  Everything, everything will be just fine
  Everything, everything will be all right, all right
  
  Hey
  Don't write yourself off yet
  It's only in your head you feel left out
  Or looked down on
  Just do your best
  Do everything you can
  And don't you worry what their bitter hearts
  Are going to say
  
  It just takes some time
  Little girl
  You're in the middle of the ride
  Everything, everything will be just fine
  Everything, everything will be all right, all right
  
  It just takes some time
  Little girl
  You're in the middle of the ride
  Everything, everything will be just fine
  Everything, everything will be all right, all right
