Housemanaging

I was housemanager, awhile back now, on the 13th of october to the 18th with none other than Stephen. He has no real experience in cooking or cleaning, but that was ok. We made it through the week, he usually made bread, I made supper, he cleaned most of the house one day, I'd clean the nastiest bathroom. It was pretty fair considering he doesn't like cooking.But he browned taco meat and for that I am so proud of him. Our project leader also had his 48 hours that week, his break from us (he needs it) and he was doubtful that we could manage. We shoved it back in his face and managed just fine. Shopping for 11 people is a bum face. I could hardly push the cart and that didn't even include the vegetables that we bought at the outdoor market (Marcher Jean Talon) My next week of housemanaging is the first week of december with Nicole. She can cook and clean as well as me, if not better. It is going to be freaking sweet! The only downside, well there were 2, was that our project leader (he will be known as PL from now on...save typing time) criticised the smallest of things. And he's very concerned with bad milk products and undercooked meat, to the point of annoyance. We have lost so much yummy food that was left out of the fridge for more than 2 hours. This has never concerned me, and it still doesn't. All that food in the garbage annoys me. Oh well. We can't blame him, he was an only child. The second thing is filling out housemanager reports. They want to know EVERYTHING we did that week. It'S ridiculous and time consuming. That too, I am annoyed with, but at least I don't have to do everyweek, only the weeks I'm housemanager.

Work is going fine, except the've run out of things for me to do. It gets boring, but I always find something to do. Like right now I'm making signs for parking. Yay...parking signs. I only have 20 more minutes to fill.

Talk to you later!
