There aren't enough thanks in the world. I try to tip the balance just a little day to day, but there just aren't enough opportunities to be nice face-to-face. Also, I'm a grump. Thus, the appeal of this task-- anonymous, but kind.
I took inspiration from my first SF0 experience-- I ran into luminescent pixie while she was engaged in elevator hijinks. We ended up in the elevators of the student union late at night, and the only other passengers were the cleaning crew, ferrying huge, reeking garbage receptacles through the building. I was impressed by their work, and I realized that these (and myriad other) nocturnal folks keep the university running at a time when nobody is around to see or appreciate them. Thus, I decided that these were the people I wanted to thank.
First, time to make the signs:

Next, to distribute them. I wanted to hide them, so they would reach their intended recipients and few others.
First, an obvious place.



(Girls' bathroom; not much seat lifting going on in there.)
Then, a couple of sneaky garbage-can messages.


This guy is my favorite:




I still had one left, and I reckoned that at least one of my signs should be public. There was a gap juuuust the right size on one of the bulletin boards.


(don't try and decode the binary-- it's nonsense, with a wee Futurama reference at the end.)
