First Day of Work

We have no pictures for you today, however, I thought about showing images of the bathrooms, hallway floors, and stairways! Those items pretty much filled up our day today.

Kathy was on Deck 2 and 3 and I worked Deck 4. We were each paired with a long term day worker to show us the ropes. Mondays and Thursdays involve a little higher volume of work. Kathy swept, by hand, the stairwells that went from decks 3 to 7. My floor has 12 public bathrooms and miles and miles of hallways. All the touchable surfaces must be disinfected to keep everything as germ free as possible. It is all a well thought out system and is very efficient. For tomorrow, I think we will work on the same floor, but with different items on the list.

After dinner we had several more orientation meetings on security, safety, policies, etc. All very interesting and well presented. We connected up with Alyssa again and she escorted us to the patient wards where she works. It was very neat to meet those who she has been working with. The nursing staff builds such great relationships with the patients and family members who are staying with them.

We are off to bed early, so we are fresh for work tomorrow.

We love you all,

Tim and Kathy
