Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday
Posted by Kevin
As I said in my last post, we were scheduled in housekeeping for Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. Well, Sunday came and we were basically the only ones scheduled to do cabin cleaning, but we had to turn around sixteen cabins this morning (people moving out and moving in on the same day), so both the managers, one of the assistant managers, an office/whatever lady, the groundskeepers/restroom cleaners, and Kevin and I all set out to clean cabins right at eleven o’clock — check out time. Kevin and I cleaned six of “hot” cabins plus two of the tiny cabins with no running water. It was a very long, hot day. As we were finishing up our last cabin, the managers came and thanked us for our hard work and told us the new housekeeper was starting on Monday, so we could take the day off if we wanted. We did.
On Monday, we went into the town of Tomball, which is about 20 miles North of us. It is way smaller than Cypress, which is about the same distance East of us, but they have everything we would need there, and less traffic and congestion as well. We went shopping, then went out to lunch at CiCi’s pizza buffet. Their deal is all day buffet for a reasonable price, and they will make any request that anyone has, no matter how much pizza they already have out. Pretty impressive customer service, and the pizza was ok, too. After lunch, we went back home and did nothing the rest of the day.
Tuesday, we were scheduled to clean cabins again, but the main housekeeping teams were working today, so we did one that was checked out early, then went looking for another job. The job we got assigned to was to put the number stickers with arrows and Yogi stickers on all of the new power pedestals in the newest area of the campground (photos). That took us to lunch, then we checked the older areas to make sure all of their stickers were correct. After that, we asked what we should do, but neither manager had anything specific, so we signed out two hours early. We won’t have very many hours this week, but we worked around 43 1/2 hours last week with the pizza training and all, so our checks should still be enough to pay all of the bills…
