Temporal Ergonomics 101: Time Traveling Janitor
Case Study 2: The janitor who traveled back in time to clean the floors of the ancient Egyptians.
Meet John, a janitor from the year 2050. John was known for his exceptional cleaning skills, but he had always dreamed of traveling through time.
One day, John stumbled upon a time-traveling portal in the janitor's closet. Without hesitation, he stepped through the portal and found himself in ancient Egypt.
John was amazed by the grandeur of the pyramids and the majesty of the Sphinx. But he was also struck by the filth and grime that covered the floors of the temples.
Without hesitation, John got to work. He used his trusty mop and bucket to clean the floors, scrubbing away at the stone surfaces.
As he worked, John marveled at the hieroglyphics on the walls, and he even managed to decipher a few of the ancient symbols.
But John's time-traveling adventures were not without consequence. His actions in the past began to have a profound impact on the present.
The ancient Egyptians, who had grown complacent in their cleanliness, began to take notice of the spotless floors. They were inspired by John's example and set out to clean their own temples.
John's actions had inadvertently started a revolution in ancient Egypt, and the people were forever changed.
But what about John? He returned to his own time, but he was no longer the same janitor. He was now a hero, known throughout the land for his bravery and his commitment to cleanliness.
