Civil servant cleans poo, gets in shitPosted 02.03.2006 by scatoman
It's not often one can say that politicians and civil servants get their hands dirty. But for a political aide in Canada's capital city recently, it was a case of, "Doo-doo? Can do!"
Last Thursday a chap visited the bathroom in Ottawa Public Library and found a toilet cubicle in a severe state of fecal disarray. Three hours later, with no action having been taken to remedy the problem, our man called the Chair of the Library Board, Councilor Rick Chiarelli. Upon receiving the call, Chiarelli said to his aide, Mike Patton, who had asked him what was to be done: "Just fix it." Rather than get someone else to do his dirty work, the intrepid Mr. Patton himself went to the library to see what was going down. CBC News reports his description of what he saw: "Clearly someone was not feeling well and had a bit of a diarrhea issue, and it was all over the seat and the floor and the toilet, in the stall area." "Diarrhea issue!" What a beautiful phrase. Anyway, because the cleaners were elsewhere and therefore unable to deal with this "poo apocalypse" (another nice phrase there, Mike), Patton found a mop and bucket in the basement of the library and cleaned up the offending stall himself. Surely the problem was solved. Nope. They were just beginning. Rather than saying "thank you!" -- which is surely the only correct response to this act, so clearly beyond Patton's remit -- "library officials complained [Patton] took work away from unionized workers." You're damned if you do and damned if you don't, eh? I mean, come on -- if Patton had done nothing about the mess, I'm sure there would have been hell to pay for Chiarelli's department. To his credit, Chiarelli refuted the library officials' protestation. "When there's poop on the floor," he said, "the first action has to be to clean it up, not send memos and form committees and that kind of thing." Well said, Rick. Now, Dear Readers, what the hell are the "library officials" playing at? I'm sure that the snowed-under cleaners would have been glad to hear that they didn't have another badly-soiled toilet to beautify on that day. I also reckon that, if they knew who had cleaned it, they might have realized that there are some people working in politics who don't just sit behind a desk all day. Hell, it might even restore their faith in human nature. I think that this incident reflects very well on Patton. If he's willing to clean up that sort of mess, he's obviously the sort of person who cares a little bit about the people of his city. The library apologized to the public for any inconvenience. Maybe they also ought to apologize to Mike Patton for their shitty behavior. Come on, library bigwigs -- gratitude, not attitude! Show some poop support, or make a poop retort.
