At the age of 55, I got a job as a cleaner. Today is my first day on the job, and it's the first time I'm doing cleaning work in my life.
The place where I work is a hotel. Today the manager arranged for me to go to work at 11 noon and leave at 8 pm. Since I had never worked before, I could not work independently, so I studied with Mr. Xiao, who was my age.
Teacher Xiao taught me to push the hotel lobby with dust push. Seemingly simple work, people do it smoothly, and they are at ease. I was clumsy and hard to do... The manager saw it and said, it seems that you really haven't done anything at all.
I felt that I was really stupid and embarrassed, but I also felt why I had to mop the floor the way they did. No matter how you clean, as long as it is clean. But no, they have working methods, processes, say that this is labor-saving, not easy to miss.
I didn't refute it, just follow along.
It takes several times a day for the dust to push, I dragged it twice in the hall, and Teacher Xiao also dragged it twice.
Today, I also cooperate with the masters of other departments to wash the floor, that is, clean the ground outside the hotel, wash and then use the machine to suck away the foam, and then use a mop to mop dry, this work is not light.
Then I finished cleaning the mop and bucket, I don't know how many times I cleaned, and finally the mop was washed when the water was relatively clear. This one is also tiring!
After eating, the manager arranged to go to the parking lot to pick up cigarette butts and paper scraps to seal the garbage, which took more than an hour.
It's finally time to take a break. The manager arranged again, checked the toilet on the two floors, took out the garbage, checked whether the paper was enough... For another hour, the key to taking out the garbage was not allowed to go out of the hall, to avoid the guests walking around the other door, a long way, like a maze.
It's almost time to leave work, check the toilet again.
Today was tiring, but also fulfilling!
