Vale, vale, vale

Learning Diaries,

Dime, dime, dime!

This week Riina did a morning shift at housekeeping. Every morning she made a cleaning list of the rooms and helped to fill cleaning products in the storage. She checked the rooms with the mistress if they are ready for the customers. And she got to actually clean a toilet one day!!! Progress!! In the housekeeping only one person speaks English (a little) but luckily Riina had her own translator Lisa. She is a Chinese trainee from university and she is an exchange student. Riina has liked the people there and learned some new Spanish words. 🙂

This is the cleaning list. Meanings of the colors: green means free and clean, long orange are dirty from yesterday, short orange dirty from the check outs today, blue is a upcoming customer today and white ones are occupied.

Pinja was in a different department, she was in food & beverage doing an evening shift. She worked mainly in the other restaurant cleaning the dishes, serving food and drinks and doing other unpleasant things. In other words she hates it and is happy to go to housekeeping next week  to learn Spanish (as Riina is going to “Bistro”, good luck mate). The only things that made Pinja somewhat happy were the workers in Bistro and the big 92pax group of Finnish people that arrived on Thursday.
