Chesapeake Flood

Why am I online and posting random stuff at 10 AM, when I should be at work around this time. Well, we didn't have to do right now, and I'm on call, so I'm just waiting for people to call me to fix stuff. Agnes was nice enough to let us retreat to our rooms and do whatever, as long as we keep our radios on. I love my job. ^_^

The part of my job I don' t like that much is when there's a major flood. My first flood was in Chesapeake Hall. The basement community room of the dorm was flood after a major rainstorm. We worked all night to vacuum all the water out. It was interesting.




Randomness 6/27/07

* Advanced cardio exercise for a beginner - I had to escort and unlock doors for the fire extinguisher inspector as he check for every single extinguisher in every single apartment room on campus. We had to go through West Hill, Hillside, and Terrace. West Hill has 6 buildings, each building has 2 set of stairs on both ends, each building has 12 apartments, and all are 3 floors up. That's just West Hill. Now it doesn't sound too bad, but if you have to go up and down over 30 staircases in 3 hours non-stop and not to mention going up and down the hills of UMBC, that's a work out. I actually felt awesome afterwards. I felt like I was in better shape in just 3 hours.

* Movie and game night with the MA's - We packed into the guys' apartment to watch a movie. Gregg got us free pizzas from where he works (Domino's), and Kevin set up his movie projector and surround sound speakers (awesome stuff). We watched "Back to the Future - Part 1", and right after the movie, we decided to play some cards - Apples to Apples. Before we know it, it was already 2 AM and we had to get up early the next day for work. Let's just say, we weren't very efficient nor energetic at work. Good times!

* Yarn shopping with Matt - Matt's going to knit me a hat for me in time for winter. We went to the Yarn Shop to buy some yarn, so he can start knitting. Being the president of the craft club, he's pretty good at knitting.

* Buffy the Vampire Slayer - I'm currently wasting my time watching Buffy from the very beginning until the end. I'm actually enjoying it a lot, and the show's pretty good. I just finished season 1, and I'm working on season 2 now.

A New Year & A New Post

It took almost a year, but an update is finally here. Since I'm currently on summer vacation, I figure this would be the best time to start posting again. There are no exams and homeworks to worry about and to prepare for. I have work and that's it. I'm working on campus right now, and getting free on-campus housing too. How cool is that? No rent! One less thing to worry about for the next 3 months.

I'll be blogging about random stuff throughout this summer. Mostly about work because I spend almost all of my time at work anyway. Here's a preview of what we do at work.....


Team meeting in our office or shop (the MA Shop - Maintenance Assistant's Shop) - Me & Agnes (our manager), and Matt's feet in front of us


Is this what we do at work everyday??? No, we actually do real work sometimes. Haha. (Gregg & Cliff taking a nap)
