Today was extremely exhausting, since my friend Eishan and I spent most the entire day organizing files for the Radisson hotel downtown. It sounded cool at first, but organizing that many files in alphabetical order can really drain a person's energy. Over the span of eight hours, we went through at least 5000 files, 50 loose sheets of papers, and ten different filing cabinets. The letter "C" was the most ridiculous to organize. It took up one and a half of the 10 filing cabinets that were used to store every letter of the alphabet. Who would have Even though this may sound boring (which it was) we still managed to have a lot of fun at the hotel. My mom showed us the best suite in the hotel, which was actually on the third floor.
In between those work periods, we got to see the different departments in the hotel such as the housekeeping department and the sales department. We also went to the staff room! It didn't have the best food, but nobody was complaining. There was some white rice with peas, salad with dressing, chicken pieces and some vegetables. Eishan and I ended up coming back to the staff room a lot to escape the filing cabinet that somehow never stopped producing more work for us, and we found that there were a few coffee machines. Those coffee machines helped us survive today, and made it possible for us to organize each and every file in alphabetical order.
We also got to work on Microsoft Excel to help fill in some numbers for their 2010/2011 budget. It felt like a pretty important job, so I was glad we were there to help.
After all our hard work, we were rewarded with some delicious candy. Those jelly beans made all the work worthwile!
That's all for today, so bye for now!
