And since it's the last week before Christmas, of course most of the preparations are done now at work and I pretty much have nothing to do except cleaning. Mopping this entire floor is two consecutive workouts and takes hours, leaving me covered in sweat, on the best of days, because it's a huge open space with a stone tile floor that people are regularly walking through in their outdoor boots. But it's even worse since it's warmer now. I'm already down to a tshirt without having done any working out!
On the plus side, they finally emptied the recycling dumpsters behind work, so I was able to carry out three months' worth of paper trash.
