The two of you need to organize and execute a wing clean up.

By wing clean up, I do not mean everyone taking one job the housekeeping
people normally have.  No, I mean the whole wing should scrub the damned
common areas clean.  The wall by the trash can should have the food
splatters wiped off it.  The microwave should be spotless.  The floors
should be mopped.  The furniture moved and vacuumed under.  Rearrange
things if you want.  Clean the fridge.  Organize the cabinets.  Throw away
shit that we don't need.  Replace thumbtacks in posters that are missing
them.  Wiped down the tables.  Clean the windows.  Do a REALLY good job!

Then, have some people clean the laundry rooms like never before.  Clean
the dried soap off the machines.  Empty the lint hamper.  Clean clean
clean!

Anyone who you feel does not participate up to snuff should be given extra
cleaning assignments for the week, the month or the year.  I don't care.
From now on I want the two of you to make sure that housekeeping is done
every night, and done well.  When you leave for the weekend, you should
check with whomever is on housekeeping and make sure they have a
substitute.  You should also post a list of who has housekeeping when.  Put
it on the window, facing out, next to the name/room number list by the
door.

The reason I am so pissed is because it is now 1:07 a.m. and I am cleaning
the wing because Finegan and Gurga did not get replacements, and Knuffman
refuses to do it because he has done it for the last two nights.  Finegan,
Gurga, Schaefer and Knuffman are all getting an extra week, starting this
week.  They will not stop doing housekeeping until the do one week right.

In the future, I expect the two of you to take care of all housekeeping
problems.  Anyone who doesn't live up to their responsibilities will not
only cause problems for themselves, but for the two of you as well.

I expect you to run a meeting explaining the new policy, and organizing the
wing clean up.  From now on you should do more wing clean ups more often.

And I really, really, really want to see some action on an educational
meeting of some sort.  Otherwise I am going to have to start docking your
work service hours, which I don't want to do.

Any questions, feel free to come see me Sunday night from 8-1 in the RC office.
