Spring cleaning

I do of course know that it's not actually spring outside. I figured this out by the ten inches of snow that are sitting out side my front door. Anyways I'm talking about the annual there's nothing to freaking do at work type of cleaning. Now normally I don't really mind this type of thing. I don't actually do any of the cleaning, however it does keep the kids out of my hair for a bit. Here's the ultimate problem they have people who don't really know how to do things, telling other people who don't really know how to do things what to do. And I am left to clean up their mess which I guess does give me something to kill the hours of boredom that have become my day, but I like it less when I feel like I'm going to throw up when I'm done fixing the mess.
Case in point. One of the things on our list of cleaning things is touch up painting. Now I know what your all thinking why would we have to do that, and the answer is I really don't know. I do know that we don't really make it look better. This time a co-worker of mine decides that she's going to have some associates do this during the morning. Now clearly this is not a good idea because it black freaking paint and someone is going to get it on them. I tell her this, but of course she doesn't listen. So what ends up happening is that not only does someone who doesn't work for us get black paint on there coat, but the person who did the painting tried to clean the paint brush off with water and got black paint everywhere. This is the problem because a normal person would have been able to tell that the paint was oil based and that washing it with water is a really bad idea. So I had to just about kill myself from pain thinner fumes cleaning this womens jacket, and then of course the huge mess the associate made. I really don't understand whats wrong with people. Seriously the common sense or lack there of that people have amazes me.
