Chris Lane, Carter High School’s new custodian of four months shares a day in his life. He starts his day at 4:30 AM, making his way to the school. The first thing he does is take out all the trash and sweep the floors. Lane then gets started on the bathrooms, cleaning up the previous day’s filth. Once the students start to file in after their routine temperature checks, Lane begins serving breakfast, the most important meal of the day. Afterwards he cleans the lunch tables. Now, Lane does not leave the school until 1:30 PM, so the man is not done yet. He serves the students lunch and aids the other custodians in cleaning up the mess from the hoarde. Once it is 1:30, strictly 1:30, Chris Lane exits the building and heads home “No matter what I’m walking out that door at 1:30.” At first glance all these routines seem like a lot, which it is, but all his hard work pays off (literally). Custodians are given paid holidays, vacations, and sick days. Lane has been a custodian for four years as of right now, working hard in many other schools just like he is Carter.
