soc_puppetLeft work at a much, much more reasonable hour today than I have... the rest of the week, honestly. Only twenty minutes after I was scheduled off, and even that I might have skipped with a few different choices.
I managed to finish all of my assigned tasks today, as well as a task that had originally been on my list for tomorrow, and sweep and mop the majority of our workspace. (Why am I sweeping and mopping the bakery space? Because the cleaners who the hotel had originally hired all left the job, and the cleaners they contracted to do it showed up all of maybe twice, shortly after being contracted, and we in the bakery haven't seen any evidence of them since.) My other options included leaving maybe half an hour early, doing a few other menial tasks and whittling away the time until Leaving O'clock, or helping out in the dish room.
I honestly would have liked to help out in the dish room, but my decision came down to this: There were other people who were willing and able to wash dishes, but not who were willing and able to clean the bakery floor. And it needed cleaning badly. Probably for more than a week now, but we've been so slammed by things that we need to do, neither me nor my two baker coworkers have had the time or energy to do more than a quick sweeping job for ages. So today I took initiative and did the most thorough sweeping I could manage, and at least a decent mopping job (I hope). Mopping took a lot out of me (it's physical in a very different way from baking), but ultimately I think I'm glad I did it.
Anyway, other than that, I'm still recovering from the 11:20 shift yesterday, and it's highly likely that I'll turn the lights out early today. And also sleep through most of Saturday and Sunday, since those are my next days off. We'll see what tomorrow brings...
