I am reminded that sometimes things work backwards, too. I said that Americans are more culturally inclined to "get 'er done" and Germans seem more likely to just do what's in the job description and no more...but here at BMS the hausmeister (so much more than a custodian) seems to live for school. Not only does he get all kinds of things done (usually cheerfully, I might add) but he even DJ'd the staff party and a colleague's birthday. And while I have worked with a few custodians who were enthused about being in a school and around kids, most could learn something about taking the initiative from Ronny.
It just goes to show that generalizations aren't usually worth depending on.
