If there's one household chore I hate to do, it would be sweeping the floor. It's a li'l funny because I like mopping a lot. Don't sweeping and mopping go hand in hand? I remember when I was a kiddo, I'd ask my mom to just let me wash the dishes and the clothes instead of sweeping the floor and our backyard. You bet, I hated brooms (I still do!) and how no matter how hard I swept away the trash, I still didn't get content with my cleaning because I could still see small dust and dirt getting left behind in the corners of our house.
When I started working in the office, I felt glad I am spared from cleaning my work station because there are cleaners assigned to our office. They do the cleaning every day, just before we start working at 8:00 a.m. They would sweep and mop and clean our work tables, chairs, PCs, shelves and cabinet. They do it so well that I often wonder, have they not experienced a cleaning misery in their youth?
Just when I thought I won't experience cleaning my work station, there's this one fateful day that I was forced to do a lot of cleaning. As in a lot, and it involved a lot of sweeping. Gosh. It was the first day of the week after typhoon Ondoy hit Manila. Remember the flood, the destruction and the mess in our homes? I still do.
Our office wasn't spared, it being on the ground floor of the building. And so that morning, I swept away until my hips ached. It was a day of broom misery in the office. It didn't help that I was pretty meticulous when it comes to cleaning my work station. I didn't want to see any dirt or even just traces of it.
Sad to say, but the broom let me down. I had to pick up the dirt left on the floor using a rug and my own hands just to get my workstation back to its squeaky clean state.

That, my friend is my one whole day of broom misery in the office. Yes, in the office of all places!
I need change. I want to start the doom of the broom. I need help!
