  • Maintenance log

    When I got to work, the pool was a mess. The pump had swallowed serious air at some point, and had shut off during the night. Finding the leak and getting it restarted was a pain, to put it lightly. So by the time I got to recording my daily activity, I was a little nuts.

    What I did today (if you can read my handwriting)



    And if you can't read my handwriting:


    Did battle with "Bertha" (pool pump). Won battle after 2 hrs.
    - also tested chems, skimmed, & vacuumed
    Kicked in 212's door to rescue guests trapped inside.
    - Put down 212 until door is fixed
    Prepared Service Channel Quest Log
    Shampooed the carpet in 202 so it looks FABULOUS!
    Replaced bathroom light switch rm 224
    - Problem with bathroom circuit isn't light switch
    Replaced smoke detector battery rm 224
    - Don't lick batteries; they hurt
    Helped with, like, laundry and stuff

    (Ed. note: "Service Channel" is a program that assigns our scheduled maintenance tasks for the week. Except it puts them in this really awful format. So I copy them into a format that Maint Man can actually read.)

    wow you were busy. And why did you kick in the door for 212? There has to be a story there

      A 9V battery? Whimp! My dad used to get 90V and 210V batteries for photoflash guns. Do not touch terminals, let alone taste!

        Especially if it involves rescuing the patrons there.

          Not really. The lock keeps jamming up. This is the third time this month with that particular door. We've replaced the lock to no avail, so I sent in a request to Area Maint to come up and take a look at it.

          And...it appears there is an SC story I didn't post earlier. If you are a guest, and you come back and find out your lock is jammed up with your stuff inside, and the MOD and GSR can't get it open but they can get you into a different room for the night, you're gonna be upset, but do you

          (a) Accept the situation, take the other room, and see about getting a discount/refund in the morning for your trouble, or

          (b) Accept the situation, take the other room, call up your friends to bust the window into the locked room to get your stuff out, and demand a free night.

          If you picked (a), you are a reasonable person. If you picked (b), you're one of our SCs who was with us about three weeks ago, and you still owe us for a new window.

              Reminds me of a scene from John Ringo's book, The Last Centurion. (Might be another possible choice for the book club...)

                Yeah, don't lick batteries. My husband did when he was 4. Got battery acid on his tongue. Nothing has ever tasted right since, though 30+ years on it's getting better. He can't really taste sugar anymore unless there's a LOT of it - 3-4 spoons in his coffee, sort of fing. I tasted his coffee once and almost had a sugar overdose. What he calls sour you wouldn't recognize. It's not very much fun for him.

                In other news, I love 'Service Channel Quest Log'. Makes the job sound much more interesting than 'Fixing shit what other people dun broke cuz ther dumb'.

                        In my industry go through several 9v batteries a week for the wireless microphones. For most photogs we've come to the point that we can tell how good the battery is by the 'taste'.

                          Aw come on. After reading doctors' handwriting all day, that's as clear as print. Seriously, I wish all of them wrote that clearly.

                          ITYM 510v. That thing's got 336 button cells in series inside it. Looks like a 9v battery on steroids. Spec sheet here. I don't think they make those anymore.

                          My SIL did that, with similar results (tho' not from any acid, just the current messed up her tastebuds. I'm not sure what she can't taste, but she's a damn good cook nevertheless.) When I tried this as a very small child, I was smarter: I used my upper lip, which didn't have tastebuds on it. Still hurt like hell.

                          I did once try, at about 6, to suck on a DC power plug for a tape recorder (about 6V or so), which my camp counselor had left plugged in and hanging loose. Took me ages to get the metallic taste out of my mouth, and I sometimes wonder if I messed up my sense of taste as well, but how would I know?

                            Thank you. Now, could you please explain this to my coworkers and my husband?

                            Today, I sent in a requisition for a new master remote for our TVs, because since we're only allowed one per property, a $30 remote becomes a capital item. In the notes, I wrote "Our master remote died and went to remote heaven, and is now up there watching over this requisition for a replacement."

                            CW: "And you expect [Regional Maintenace Man] to approve that?"
                            Me: "[RMM] is a fuddy-duddy who needs to lighten up!"

                            [RMM] is a fuddy-duddy, imho. If he has a sense of humor, I've never seen it. Urgh. We'll see if my requisition gets approved!
