Louise's Back to the Floor Fundraiser




SATURDAY

(Just would like to let you know, I have never worked in ops so this is goimg to be fun!)

6:30 am – Wake up to prepare to do my double shift (I can’t remember the last time I was up this early on a Saturday!!

08:15am – Report to the house keeping office, I am working with Sue (one of our housekeeping supervisors – phew!) I find out Sue and I have been allocated 12 rooms, that’s cool, will be fun!

08:30am – Sue and I begin our shift. It’s fun, I’m loving being taught how to make the those hospital corners, I will now use those sheets that my Mam bought without the elastic corners!

10:00am – Oh no! Sue has informed me that we need to pick up an additional 9 rooms due to absence, my back and feet are already aching, how bad is that??!!

11:45am – It’s lunch time. OMG! My feet are throbbing. I have hours left to go! The associates are loving it though, don’t think they ever though I would do it!

15:00pm – I have another 2 hours left and 5 rooms to do, Sue is really encouraging, think she can see I’m flagging a little but she is keeping me going!

17:00pm – Finished my 21 rooms! I have 30minutes till my next shift!! My feet have almost given up already and I have muscles in places I have not felt for a long time, not a good sign!

17:30pm – I have clocked in at C&B – I’m off to clean glasses and set up for a private dinner, feet are still sore, I have flat shoes on how can this be?!

22:30pm – The dinner finished 1 hour ago and we have cleared up and re-set for tomorrow morning, I’m off to the Broughton Suite Bar!

01:00am – I have finished my long shift, although I feel tired I have thoroughly enjoyed my day! I even made tips on the bar!!

I enjoyed every moment of the day, it might sound like I was wining all day but seriously, Sue will vouch for me, I really enjoyed it and would like to thank all those associated that worked with me and put up with me asking them questions all day (still not got my head around Micros!!!) I do think Nikki had the right idea by spreading her time, I will definitely do that next time!

A huge huge thank you to all those associates that supported the efforts and contributed to a fantastic cause!!
