A Non-College All-Nighter?

Good evening/morning depending how you look at it! I got off work at 3:15AM and I haven't gone to bed yet. It's now 6:30AM, and we have inspection today.

For those of you who don't know, CPs living in Disney housing must go through monthly apartment inspections to make sure we're not making a mess of the place. There are 4 categories that you can fall under during inspections:

1. Fail - your apartment grossly does not meet Disney cleanliness guidelines. Consequence: They take pictures of your apartment and send them to your work leaders and also send in a cleaning crew (which you will have to pay for).

2. Simple Pass - your apartment is tidy, though not necessarily clean. There are smudges on mirrors/dust on the TV/the bed isn't made. It's not bad enough to constitute a fail, so you get a simple pass with no reward or consequence.

3. Pass (Looks Good) - your apartment is clean and tidy, although only one thing might hold it back from the next level. This can be someone forgot to put a dish away, or something small. Reward: small snacks for the roommates.

4. White Glove Award - the most prestigious award for cleaning the apartment. Your apartment must be spotless, nothing out of place, nothing with smudges. Reward: a box of Ferraro Roche Chocolates.

This is my apartment's first inspection. We decided about a week ago to split our tasks. There are 6 of us, 2 per room. This is how we split our tasks:

Kitchen - trash/dishes; own side of room

Kitchen - counters/floors; own side of room

Living Room - vacuum, dust, clean; own side of room

Bathroom 1; own side of room

Bathroom 2; own side of room

Bathroom 3; own side of room

I can't say it went off without a hitch, especially now that it's the morning of inspection and we're not yet White Glove-worthy, but I would definitely consider our apartment clean. I hope we can keep it looking this way, because it looks lovely right now.

I just deleted a long paragraph about roommate relations and cleaning. Let's just say that everyone should clean up after themselves and there would be no issues.

So it's almost 7AM right now and where am I? Watching the sunrise on my balcony. It can be easy to take the Florida scenery for granted when you've grown up with it, but our sunrises and sunsets often take your breath away.

I've gotta figure out now what I can do to stay awake for the next 3 hours before inspection. Luckily I have the day off, so once they swoop by I'm going right to bed!

Til next time!

UPDATE: We got the White Glove Award!
