But I don't really mind. It is only for the next four weeks anyways. That kind of makes it nothing like the actual mythological scenario, as the most troubling part of it is the never-ending nature of the work, but, while it lasts, my work shall hardly end.
I didn't really get a break at the end of the year. My last final was on friday, and my first work was on saturday. I went home saturday night until late this afternoon, and even worked a little when I got back. Tomorrow the real fun starts. I will, in theory work from 12pm, until 4am. This was voluntary. It will be a combination of scraping a year of residue off of stainless steel shower walls with a swipe card edge and scrub pads, and using a pressurized steam cleaning device for the same purpose. The job is assigned to me and two others. We were supposed to have 3 machines. Two are broken. Their are 125 showers in the yard, they must be cleaned by tuesday night at the latest. Hence, I volunteered to solve this problem by working in shifts... I, being a night owl, recommended coming in late (the others will go in at 7 or 8 am), so that I would be able to stay up through the night. My, my ipod, a dirty stainless steal shower, and some steam ALL NIGHT LONG. MMM.
