When I worked for a contractor at NASNI on flight simulators (still has got to be the *best* job I ever had, despite the low pay), one of the things we had to do (in the military fashion) is janitorial work. One evening I found a cup full of spit - and I mean full - in the briefing room for one of the simulators. At first I thought it was coke, but upon picking it up I saw it was too thick (f***ing gross!). I promptly put it down, and walked out without cleaning a damn thing. I reported it to my boss, who ran it up the chain. The next day the unit that had been training was up there stripping the floor, waxing, dusting, cleaning, you name it. We never had a problem with even a little trash left behind again. PGA -- Paul G.
