Back to work

...to this.

From this...

My first full workweek started on Tuesday. It was nice to be back and my boss was asking if I had done anything exciting on Monday. I told her about our PC world adventure, because for me walking and getting lost in new places in a foreign country, that’s exciting.

Tuesday wasn’t about cleaning, it was about sorting. I got three boxes full of wires and was told to Velcro tape them so they would stay rolled, you know, so they’d stop being a big pile of tangled up wires.

Just a little corner of the horror.

 Once again I enjoyed these little tasks that might seem somehow futile. But what I learned was that no work is futile, especially when it comes to cleaning and keeping things in order. Besides it’s nice change of pace when you have different things to do.

I even got to hear plans about cleaning up the storage room. It’s a really small space backed up with everything from wineglasses to Nokias cellphones. I’m certain that that room is going to give me nightmares, because I knew that I would have to work with it, maybe even clean it and the whole thought just gave me chills. It was like this: “I wanted it to be cleaned and I wouldn’t mind cleaning it, but it’s such a huge job to do that even the thought of it is overwhelming.”

But for now I simply started out with inventory.
