I've been asked what my tasks are so far...
Well, I joked, before coming here, about being willing to clean toilets, and I did actually clean a toilet today (just one, though). So, yeah, cleaning - mainly in the four apartments where those who are a bit more equal than others are staying ;-) - is part of my job. I accidentally stole our new Big Boss's sheets... I thought I had to change them and didn't realise we didn't have any to replace them with. Whoops... We thought about leaving a note: "Sorry we stole your sheets. You really should have brought a sleeping bag like we did, though!"
Joking and references to Animal Farm aside, the 'big brass' here don't actually live a life of luxury. They do get to sleep in real rented flats rather than bunks in a warehouse, but those flats are packed, and some people get to sleep on mattresses and even bunks on the floor. So, yeah. Maybe not as egalitarian as one would like, ideally, but not exactly the VIP suite, either.
So... other than those exciting Adventures In Cleaning, I didn't do much today. That is to say, the cleaning today turned out to be a full day's work, mainly because our group isn't complete yet so we only had four people to do that job. Plus, we had to get the flats ready for new occupants today. We'll hopefully be able to divide the work up between more people tomorrow and the days after that, and possibly even end up with some spare time. Possibly. Maybe. *g* (Okay, maybe not.
So... what else is there to tell? I think there's a big meeting tonight, and they've set up chairs and something that looks like it's supposed to be a screen for showing films or pictures, so there'll be... something, later in the evening. First, though, I really need to get some food, because with all the work today, there wasn't actually any time to eat.
And now my computer is acting up a bit and I think I should do a virus check, because I'm in the less secure network connection mode here. The more secure one doesn't seem to work on the laptop. Grmpf.
