Third week - Wednesday

On Tuesday my schedule for the morning was changed so that I would be in industrial for the mornings from now on. Jesse gave Jurgen and I a task for the day. We had to go down to the gym storage room and put together the dance floor in squares of 2x2 pieces. After putting them together we had to stack them on the cart so they could be put together easily for an upcoming event. It was a little tough because the sides of the floor tiles were sharp but we finished the work quickly. Afterwards we helped Matt with van maitenance. One of the vans had a bee problem in the rearview mirror and Matt had to get rid of them by spraying brake fluid behind the mirror.

I'm learning something new about the clients every day. On Monday I learned (the hard way) that Ryan likes to make ropes out of plastic bags to chew on. While watching him at the playground, he ran out all the way to the front desk and ripped out a piece of someone's plastic bag. I thought he was going to the bathroom or something but he ended up doing something completely different. I was really confused about what was going on but Elmo explained to me that it's just what he does and there was no way I was getting the piece of plastic back from him. Ryan then twisted the piece of plastic into a rope and began chewing on it. You learn something new every day.

On Wednesday it was Gazette day, meaning the vans came in with all the Gazettes that CSS would deliver, and the clients would carry the newspapers out to the building to bag them individually. Someone told me that CSS delivers seventy percent of the Gazettes in the Gaithersburg area which amazes me. All the vanfuls of newspapers must add up to thousands in all. It never occurred to me that the Gazette that I get at my doorstep every Wednesday was being bagged and delivered by the clients at CSS.
