On Being First Float

Well my lucky two weeks. It just so happens that if you are 1st float on a week that’s not Alb week, you will most likely be mopping almost every day. Now that’s not so bad if you didn’t have to do most of the mopping the week before. Out of the last 14 days, I have mopped 10 of them. Needless to say I was happy to hand the mop and pail over to the next person. My next complaint about my 1st float week was that I had to be KA for 2.5 days and Head Cook for another half. Oh well. C’est la vie.

First float does a lot of floating.  It has a few daily and weekly jobs but not too many. If someone has a whole day off, first float has to take their job. If there are 2 people off (whole or half day) then first float gets to choose which job they foist on to second float.

My Week Looked Like This:

                          morning       afternoon
Tuesday.         1st float.        Girls.
Wednesday.    1st float.       OFF!
Thursday.        1st float         KA.
Friday.              KA.                 KA.
Saturday.         KA.                 KA.
Sunday.            1st float.        Girls.
Monday.           1st float.        Head Cook.



This all happened July 2-July 8, 2019.
