 7/365 Thank You for the Mess Cleaners...

1:12am, I was eating my lunch (as we call it for night shift duty personnel). While I was eating, a mess cleaner is mopping the floor. She looked a little sad. I asked her "How are you? She wondered a little bit about my question. I told her, I was only asking if she is OK. She told me yes she is OK but she told me she is sick, sick of malaria. This lady cleaner, I forgot her name, is a cleaner I joke with sometimes, telling her that she is becoming fat. She told me she is becoming thin now because she is sick. Even if she is sick, she is doing her job as best as she can.

Once in a while, I had this small conversation with our mess cleaners. The small chat I had with them also brings me a way to pass time specially while I am eating in our mess. These people, the mess cleaners, or people we can call as servants, are blessings also to us. They accept dirty/cleaning jobs  that we, honestly speaking, do not want to do by ourselves. They give their service to us in cleaning the surroundings and also sharing their time in small chats.
