Got Work?

So it isn't the sweetest gig I've ever landed but I am pretty happy to be bringing in some income working as a room attendant here. There's several nice features about the job.

#1 It's just about a half a mile walk along Queensferry road to get there. Not too bad.
#2 Free lunch from the restaurant chefs downstairs. Not fancy ordering off a menu or anything but today included some perfectly poached eggs.
#3 I get paid. That means less stress and more traveling. Hoorah!
#4 My hours. I work 8am-3pm and I only work Tues-Thurs. Sweet schedule really. No weekends or evenings.
#5 I think, after several months of eating lunch with my Polish co-workers, I will soon learn the art of kolache and the like cooking. They seemed keen on teaching me their secrets - well I think that is what they meant. Maybe I should learn a few Polish words while I'm at it as communication includes lots of wild hand gestures to relate information at this point. It is surprisingly entertaining. We "have a laugh".
#6 Themed rooms, including "The Endurance" and "The Nimrod", make for a bit more fun of cleaning than the regular fare. There is something about mopping a floor with a gigantic backdrop of Ernest Shakleton and his ship that is a more escapist than you might expect.
#7 I believe there will be some noteworthy anecdotes along the way. For example, Evanna, the Polish lady training me today, was making it hard for me to not laugh out loud everytime she approached a room to see if there was anyone in it. She's a wirey but mighty one and about as zip quick a worker as they come. First she would knock knock knock, and put her ear to the door trying to hear if anyone was in the room. Knock knock...twist of the key and with door slightly ajar..."jhalo! jhoousekeeping..." then a momentary pause to see if there was any response and bam! She would bust the door open like it was some kind of swat team raid with her hoover in hand. There was something profoundly amusing about it each time.

So seven good things about a job is pretty...well...good. Now onto fun things. What places will we go with 25% of the earnings we set aside for travel? Where should I volunteer now that I have my paying work here in place? I am thinking something along the lines of a "book specialist" at the charity shop, I've seen several postings. Onward and forward with the year of living Scottishly!
