Another Parsons Bay sunset
Hi Folks,
A long day for the old people today. Susan started on reception at 8:00 with room stripping and the laundry at the same time. I started on the pool/sauna/spa at 9:00 and progressed to room cleaning/weed spraying and more room cleaning with some more water testing late in the day to evaluate the effectiveness of my additions.
We had two rooms of people that did not check out until 2. Popular wisdom was the rooms weren’t needed so leave them until tomorrow. I started them, which was just as well as we had them both booked by 4:00 and are now full again. I think I finished at 6pm and Susan around 8pm.
The main problem today was we were short of heads due to everyone being owed days off from the busy time last week. We had 4 people on days off. It can only get easier, although 4 of the old hands leave this week plus one other helper so that will mean we are a band of only 5 after a new arrival today.
One of our guests tonight was a motel owner from Queensland. Both of us had interesting conversations with him. He currently has managers looking after his motel and says it is hard to find temporary managers so something for us to think about in the future.
In many ways it was like a normal working day that I was trying to get away from However you can’t be on holiday all your life.
The boss was talking about us having 2 days a week off. I am not sure how he thinks that is going to happen, we can but hope!
Cheers Simon
