A Sisyphlushian Ordeal

I want to see Mike Rowe take on what must certainly rank among the dirtiest of all jobs:

BART replaces about 25 toilet seats a year at a cost of $20 to $30 each, Johnson said. The agency had been swapping out about 30 damaged mirrors a year, at a cost of $175 a piece, but has given up replacing broken ones.

There was no doubt that bathrooms seemed their tidiest and least foul-smelling right after one of BART’s 122 station janitors worked his or her magic. The agency spends nearly $13,000 a month on cleaning supplies for the station bathrooms.
