-... With only an Orrick Electric Broom.
It has been a year full of emotional ups and downs.
For the White House Maintenance staff.
None of us will forget the incident that shut down the South Portago Entrance
for a full 48 hours.
Or the mole rat infestation of the West Colony.
But, there have been many achievements as well.
A smooth transition into new protocols for, pedestrians areas
during external window seasonal services.
And, of course the installation of the Briant Central Air system.
Now, no discussion tonight would be complete,
without mentioning Stephen Rochon.
Stephen, some may disagree with your decision to change from spray on
flash free safety solvent and degreaser into citrus cleaner.
But no one can deny the leadership that you have shown.
In fact, when i think of the accomplishments
that you made in the South Portago Sunroom.
I can't help but recall my memories of working with Beverly Choo.
Miss Choo, you were an angel.
So everyone else enjoy your evening.
The work we do is some of the most important work any custodian could ever hope to do.
Thank you.
Maintenance Department Special Events Co-ordinator, Ted Coleman, everyone.
Oh, left a smudge, Ted.
There, much better huh?
It's really great to see the entire White House Maintenance staff,
together in the same room.
The only other time that happens is when Dispatch Master Controller Key is missing.
I have to say, that it's amazing for me to get to stand here tonight.
Following in the steps of Dale Haney, Kevin Tennesen, and Glen Nickles.
He finally gets to leave early tonight.
He's got a special high level meeting, down at Drakes Wholesale and Supplies.
Don't forget the CCS account number there Glen.
Ok. Without further ado, I am really thrilled to introduce the next guest.
I'm sure you've seen her on TV and in the movies, Janeane Garofalo.
-Thank you. Thank you.
It is so exciting to be here. I fee like a Lawn Maintenance Foreman,
who just got budgeted for a Lewis M7 Lawn Aerator.
Oh, what's this, they have actually ordered one with 60 inches.
With spring activated tie-ends.
You ever notice how lawn guys always love anything spring-activated?
They even have a spring-activated companion leaf rake.
Maybe a spring-activated drag-borrow.
