As a bi-vocational pastor I'm blessed with a job as a night custodian at the local elementary school. It is good and necessary work. I love the teachers and students. I get a lot of time to myself to reflect. And it's squarely within my "parish." I just wish I could do for their souls what I do for their wastebaskets: that is, take the trash out. But it's also a boring job, doing the same thing again and again night after night. Here's one of the little things that gets me through.
I'll guess before my shift starts how many of my 19 toilets will be in need of a flush when I arrive. That way I go through my routine with mounting anticipation "Will the kids let me down, today? I need one more unflushed toilet to hit the mark."
Now, thanks to the blogosphere you can join in the fun. I know I don't have much of a readership but post your guess and tonight when my shift ends at 11:00 I'll report how close you came.

It would help to know how many toilets there are total. . .I predict that 4 will need flushing, 2 will need plunging, and all of them will need cleaning!!!
