The X-Project

Since we've had new people move in, and some folks who've apparently forgotten the routine:

1) If you've got a maintenance problem with something in the house, there's a number of options:
-email me through the system if it's not an emergency.
-Find me around the grounds.
-Page me through the intercom system if it's an absolute emergency. Or if you feel like announcing that you tried to flush a sanitary napkin and now your bathroom is a lake.
-Come knock on the boathouse door if it's after seven. That means KNOCK. Knocking is not done with LASERS.

2) If you break something, you're going to be expected to help fix it. This isn't some kind of Gulag labor camp punishment, it's a matter of simple responsibility. No one so far has died or lost a finger from a little hard work here, and from what I can tell, some of you have actually LEARNED something. I even heard a rumor that someone changed their own light bulbs the other day.

Also - it's getting into the colder months. We're expecting the lake to freeze over this winter, and if it's thick enough, there'll be the possibility for ice skating again. The key word there is "if". Use some common sense - if you feel like a dip in ice-cold water and winding up as the next occupant of the medlab's wonderful facilities, bring someone who can pull your ass out of the lake. No one wants to see Mister Marko play lifeguard, trust me on this.
