Thursday (MONDAY 14th) (see explanation)

If Mr Howard might remember I wrote to Elisabeth last week and she allowed me to extend last week Thursday and Friday (Lobby Service,Building Service) to this week, as I got a viral Infection.

Today I started at 8 with the Building Service. It was very eventful and I did a lot of different tasks. My assigned employee was Stephen however I was on the constant switch between the people that were busy which were him,Claus,Sven. The day started with Sven showing me how to clean and reverse filter the swimming pool this took about an hour but was quite interesting as I didn't know that acid (nitric?) is used in the sandy cleaning process in order to get rid of the bacteria-even though they also use Chlor.

Then the day continued with me helping out Sven with a cloaked drain which was so cloaked that they needed to ask an external service to de-cloak it. It also stunk as the water has been collecting in the drain for 1 Week.I felt sorry for the people working in the kitchen :D.Here I learned how to take a drain apart.
Then we ate lunch at 12.45am however we did it in less than 15minutes and already I continued to help out this time I helped out Claus who just like Sven was Danish and a Technician. He showed me how to exchange a light-blub in the Hotel room roof lamps. Then I helped him exchange a few shower-pipes and at the end of the day he showed me the coolest spot ever which was going up on the Hiltons Roof which is 33m above See-level it was extremely windy but cool to watch the planes lift off so close to you.
I thought that this was a really teachable experience as I would have never managed to go up on the Roof on my own nor did I knew how time consuming it is to clean out a swimming pool. I can't really answer the questions regarding my responsibilities as they mostly are to help out and it changes in every section of the Hotel, C&E operations its meetings,lobby etc. whereas building services its more technical and fixing related.
