Sizing sheets and other domestic issues
There's a great deal to be said for mucking in with all the jobs done within the company from time to time, and today Lisa and I have been turning bedrooms around - the wedding group gone, and two checkins tonight with three more arriving tomorrow - a full hotel again. Good to see how the rooms are standing up to the use they're getting, to spot the odd snags that need fixing, and some of the things that could be done to make the job so much easier. Multiple choice question - how do you tell a clean King sheet from a clean super King sheet? Possible answers: 1. From the pile on which it was stored 2. By a coloured spot or mark on the corner 3. By the stitching 4. By weighing it 5. By unfolding it to see if it fits ... changing 5 rooms and with the right amount of linen, chances are you'll have roughly what you need. Answer (1) should be good ... except for Lisa who gets piles of clean sheets back from "flat out ironing". (2) and (3) don't work, and I was finding (5) more that a little frustrating. A superking sheet weights 750 grams A King sheet weights 590 grams A singe sheet weights 450 grams when returned neat and folded from cleaning (there might be slight differences due to a change in humidity, but there's plenty of margin for such fluctuations to be ignored). A new use, today, for the postal scales ... we should probably get something more specific for general use.
