Andrew Carbodega was a janitor. But he wasn't just any
old janitor. He was the best janitor in the fleet. He was on the best starship
in the fleet. Drew Carbodega was the Head Janitor onboard the USS Enterprise.
He checked his schedule. Tuesday the 17th. Rec deck? Check. Spock's quarters? Check. Engineering deck bathroom facilities? Check. (Yuck!) The Captain's Chair? Nope.
Drew put all of his equipment into his satchel and got onto the turbolift. Cleaning the Captain's Chair was always interesting. He and the Captain had a deal: Drew would clear everything, and keep what he wanted. Most of the time, the Captain remembered what day it was and cleared out all of his personal belongings. But sometimes....
Stepping onto the deserted Bridge, Drew walked over to the boxy chair in the center. Feeling between the cushions, he began pulling objects out and laying them in a pile on the floor next to him. He didn't even bother to look at what he had pulled out.
When everything had been removed and the chair thoroughly cleaned, Drew finally turned to the pile on the floor.
The first thing was a small red book. It was a notebook, with the Captain's name on the cover. Inside, he had recorded every girl he had ever "met", rated the "experience", and written comments on each. Next came a ticket for consuming illegal Romulan Ale. Then a bill of sale for 4 Liters of Romulan Ale. Afterward, an official communication from the Romulan government offering a fully operable cloaking device for the payment stated "in their agreement." Then the Enterprise's "report card" which stated that they had failed their neutrino emissions test. And so the list continued, right on down to the five, rather flat tribbles.
Drew gathered up all of the junk and walked into the turbolift. There were some good things that came from being a janitor!
Doesn't this make you want to become a janitor?
