Question: What would you rather do. Stock shelves at walmart or be a janitor at a GMC car dealership? So i can get a job as both right now. The janitor pays $3400 month. Walmart pays 8.50 and hour. If i get a job as a janitor i would have to go in at night. What would you do?

Answer: Janitor -, Walmart will start you out at all different shifts in the beginning anyway, and you will be part time, taking at least a year or more to work into a full time with benefits employee. You are supervised out the wazoo at walmart and they are a bit of a strange company to work for. IF you have the choice, go for the other, if not, then walmart.

Question: What should I give to a janitor who doesn't do his job correctly? I am a preschool teacher and our janitor is always forgetting to refill our paper towels, toilet paper, etc. However, he is relatively new to this, but has been given reminders. He happened to mention that his birthday is this week. Since he told me, should I give him a gift? What should I give to him, if anything? I know that I don't want to give him a card that I actually have to write something down in. I was thinking that I should just give him something just to acknowledge his birthday.

Answer: Have your students create a classroom card. They could create an oversize card. Inside of it they could make prints of their hands, draw water drops on their hands. The message could say "Happy Birthday! We would give you a big hug, but our hands are all wet!" A nice friendly way to remind him to refill the towels while acknowledging his birthday. Have each student write their names on the card and sign it as "From Room ##, Pre-K".
