Maury Forrester had a very different career before his health suffered and he had to make a change. Now he's a janitor at a school near Knoxville, but that doesn't mean he wants his old life back. Steve Hartman has his story, "On the Road."

I am proud to say the most popular guy at my federal agency of nearly 6000 people is a janitor. Everyone knows him and goes out of their way to speak and talk to him daily. He is a wonderful mixture of kindness and wisdom. He holds court in the cafeteria at lunch with an expanding group of different people daily. It speaks to his magnetism. What makes this inclusion special, is that my agency is an introverted place. We are mainly mathematicians, scientists, and programmers. You can walk in areas where you can hear a pin drop. Many coworkers stay in their cubes all day and rarely interact with others. The generational gaps are huge. Yet these same people, of varying degrees, backgrounds and cultures, yucking it up and smiling when engaged with him.

Yep, I've come to realize that. Always felt like I shorted myself in my early years for dropping out of college so early. At 40 yrs old I quit a miserable six-figure job to go back and scratch that itch. I've come to know college isn't the answer either. Pick a job that makes you happy, and shiny salaries won't do that. Big paychecks only make you stay in a place you shouldn't be, for too long.

Having worked as a janitor I can honestly say you learn a lot about people in that job. The disregard is actually breathtaking. The disdain. The disrespect. And I’ll always remember the handful of people who treated me well, spoke to me like a person and took an interest in me. Most people would have confidential conversations in front of me, not because they trusted me but because they assumed I wouldn’t understand. I was basically furniture to them. If you’re reading this thinking I’m exaggerating, you’re probably one of those people who’ve never given a second’s thought to the janitor.

You're definitely not exaggerating. I've worked as a custodian for over 7 years now, so far most of that at a state university where I hardly heard a word of thanks, except from the cooks I worked around. I work at a small elementary school now and there's never a day that I don't hear thank you from the teachers, the principal and students. I don't know why there's such a difference, but it definitely exists.

@@zanerichards4305 Thank you for all your hard work in keeping those places clean. Unfortunately, state universities can be impersonal with 1000's of students attending/racing around trying to juggle school/work and everyone seems like a number. That's wonderful that you are now in a smaller setting, at the elementary school with young kids that are usually more accepting, kind, and loving, and where it's easier to get to know the teachers/staff. You might not know it, but some kids might see you as a hero as I have seen in countless ytube videos (including Steve Hartman's videos) of young children who see garbage men, bus drivers, etc, as their heroes, that they look forward to seeing and talking to every day and every week.

I'm extremely surprised the concept of this segment hasn't gone nationwide. It's such a direct opposite of the negativity that all news reports. I love these videos.

yea it's a shame cos it makes vids like this relatively hard to find on yt, like since lockdown i became interested in learning about the world so startd watching docs here but all the full lenght ones well most are pretty grim (tho saw an interesting & relatively positive one recently about north korea)

i mean vids like this there's quite a few of (still a fraction of the negative news) but longer vids are rare

There was an old man that was our school janitor. A couple people made assumptions about him, and judged him. Saying he was addicted to drugs and that stuff. Crazy thing was that he was actually once mayor of the town. From 1974-1982, he was our mayor. He was responsible for saving the old post office when the state wanted to demolish it and build a new one. On top of that, he had it refurbished. He also met Bob Newhart and Robert Kennedy. He showed me pictures. This janitor who was once mayor, and here he was mopping floors. Very nice guy. We actually talked quite a bit, and he gave me pointers on debating when I signed up for debate club and Model UN. He's retired now. I see him walk his dog every now and then.

"Nobody ever said that at NASA?" Just goes to show that love really does run the show regardless of what rung you are in society's ladder.

after 53 years i retired my janitor job. i doubt anyone missed me because only rarely did they see me. they fired my "boss" and called me up to come in for a meeting. at the meeting they asked what i did.(you see i was the only janitor for a 50,000 sq foot building with 150 employees). so after a insult like that i said"didn't Rob (the boss they had fired) tell you i am retiring in 6 days. by far the best part of that job was not having to deal with people.

He is so humble and kind. I wish we can all learn from him. Titles shouldn't mean anything to us. What matters is the core of a person. ❤ and his core is pure gold ✨ 👌

I was working for a grocery store while in high school. It had a gas station and a convenient store attached to it. One of the guys working the convenient store used to work at NASA. He was an actual backdrop in the movie “Armageddon”. I used to love finishing up with my work so i could go in and hear his stories from his NASA days.
