[@Doctor_Odin]

Did it ever occur to anybody the reason why the janitor is rarely actually seen doing janitorial work is because he’s actually the head of the department. Most heads of departments don’t actually work in their departments all the time. Think about how often Celso actually sees patients

[@Theruler091]

That makes sense plus he has power over other custodians

[@ronwit]

Having been a Custodial Supervisor for almost 20 years, let's see, hire a bunch of people who know how to do their jobs better than you, then stand back and let them do there jobs, occasionally show up to demonstrate that you both do and don't know what you are doing, be really annoying to those who try to call you on your act, and, oh, occasionally get yourself fired by someone who doesn't have the authority to fire you. And, best of all, retire when you get bored with the whole thing, before they realize you haven't done any real work in years. Sounds about right.
