Um, why is it that every time I do a house cleaning, I'm the one cleaning the bathrooms? I even volunteered for two or three other jobs beforehand, but no, it turns out that every job I volunteered for didn't actually need to be done yet. So I got handed the scrub brush again.
Is it me? Is there something about me that says "Ooh! I'm small and unassuming and I'll clean the toilets with a minimum of fuss or complaint! Pick me!"? Because this literally happens every time I go to house cleaning. Every time. Every year.
At least they had the radio on while we worked this time. I think in spite of myself I'm starting to enjoy that damn "Womanizer" song. I was so hoping I wouldn't.

Second Minor Irritation: I finally went and got new headphones yesterday; on the recommendations of several of my iPod-using friends and loved ones, I got the kind that are fundamentally earbuds but with a flexible hook over the ear.
On the one hand, it's lovely having new headphones. I can leave my iPod on at a deliciously low volume and still hear it perfectly clearly. I can hear out of both earbuds again instead of having to jiggle the right one to make sound come out.
On the other hand, they have a tendency to fall out if I move my head the wrong way. And by "the wrong way" I mean "at all". Which defeats the purpose of the hook-y things, really.

Still not finished with ficathon. Or with homework, rar. But I did at least get my class schedule for next semester in yesterday, so I was kind of productive.

I do the same thing! I mean, I don't have the black rubber gloves, because I don't know where I'd get them, but I figure, if I've got to get stuck cleaning the bathroom, I might as well do it really, really well, right? At least that way, I can pretend they keep asking me because I make the bathrooms really, really clean, and not because they don't want to interact with me. :D
I complain, but it's not as bad as it could be. Our eating-house is the campus equivalent of a sorority, so the men's rooms are infrequently-used enough not to be a nightmare.

I read this and went, "house cleaning? what, like the co-op or someth... oh!"
don't they make sophomores (and freshmen in spring) do jobs like bathrooms? The only kind of consoling response I have is something like "at least it wasn't KA - gross!"

Every year I make a promise to myself to quit being a pushover. It never works.

AGH. Somehow that makes it worse. I should have seniority by this point and I don't. :( And I make the exact same promise to myself every year, but it turns out the exact same way. I always end up doing what people tell me.

I always listen to music on iTunes usually I just pick one band or artist so when I am cleaning I don't have to switch songs, I can get the bathroom cleaning done in 15 minutes. I have a small dorm bathroom.
I like the earphones( the ones apple provides) with my iPod, I got Skull Candy earphones, and I had problems with them breaking and falling out my ears
