edenfallingThings I did at work today:
1. Some more document scanning at the downtown office between 9am and 10am.
2. Answered inquiry emails.
3. Did final turnover inspections on two apartments.
4. Un-staged a two-bedroom apartment and carried all the staging materials across the street to my new office. I was told there would be adequate storage bins in a closet to fit everything.
There were not adequate storage bins.
Fortunately, I had a lot of empty cardboard boxes from the various office supply deliveries I've been receiving, so I reconstituted a bunch of those and ferried everything over one box at a time. *sigh*
I have claimed a selection of the staging materials for my own use, while the balance will return to the downtown office for use in staging apartments in the two properties on South Hill.
5. Began the simple yet tedious task of converting architectural blueprints into uncluttered floor plans clearly legible to prospective tenants. This is going to take a while. Fortunately this isn't immediately necessary for the majority of apartments, though it's good to have such images on hand.
6. Began working out a procedure for apartment turnover final inspections, in partnership with various other employees.
And now I am home, almost done with dinner (roast asparagus and Gorton fish patties), and ready to unwind a bit before falling into bed.
(Also, I would like to make it known that I remembered to make tea in my thermos this morning, AND to bring my thermos with me to work! (I have been known to forget that second step. As previously mentioned, while I can do a reasonable imitation of a morning person when required, I am not actually 100% awake and am doing a surprising amount of stuff on autopilot.) This should not be necessary forever, but until my shiny new electric kettle arrives, I have to bring my morning caffeine with me. *sigh* It's like working at Not the IRS all over again, which is, of course, the reason I have a thermos in the first place. (As with most American workplaces, Not the IRS offices tend to have coffee makers and no kettles. The Collegetown rental office has spoiled me, because we're all tea-drinkers so there's a kettle and no coffee maker. *wry*))

Admittedly, my workplace in New Zealand has the culture of the most senior person buying coffee for the entire team, so we don't always make coffee. But there's usually tea!

Date: 2020-08-05 04:32 am (UTC)Fortunately tea has gone from a niche drink to something more generally available during my life. Annoyingly, a lot of the available good tea is tea-snob type stuff or herbal blends rather than a decent middling-range black tea, but I will take what I can get. Even when that's freaking Lipton and lukewarm water in a diner. *sigh*
