      As a custodian who is often treated like I might as well be invisible, this can absolutely happen. Those who show even the tiniest bit of respect to us are often the only ones and it is greatly appreciated.

        do you awkwardly go to people at work and say “thank you for being my friend”?

          If it’s been a really shitty day where things have been being piled on and I’m struggling, yeah, absolutely. Why do you find this something to mock or ridicule or disbelieve?

        I’m sorry if you’re not appreciated enough where you work and I just want to say a deep thank you for what you do - you keep the wheels turning. I used to be friends and neighbours with our custodian (before they moved to a warmer country and we lost touch) and having seen the state of the office in just one day without my buddy when he was off sick (people are such animals), it’s people like you that make a place nice and uplifting to be in. Thank you, fishos.
