So last week we had our apartment inspected. I guess this happens every other month while we are here. What this means is that the apartment has to be spotless! All the dishes have to be done, vaccuuming, wiping down bathrooms, clean mirrors, NOTHING can be on the floor, etc. My roommates and I went crazy the day before and the apartment basically looked like no one lived in it, which is funny. They have vaccuums and mops and such that we can rent so we rented a vaccuum the day before to make sure it was clean.
On the day of inspection my roommates and I sat around forever waiting for them. I went to the gym and came back and they hadn't come. So I went to the pool, then came back and still no inspectors. I didn't want to eat anything and dirty a dish, but I eventually had to give in and eat and hand wash the dish and put it away.
Then finally the inspectors came and it took them less than 5 minutes to inspect the apartment and we got the white glove award! Ah! The way it works is you either fail (which is bad because you pay a $25 fine and pictures are taken of your apartment), pass (clean and did everything necessary), or the white glove award which means you went above and beyond! So we were all excited about this. However, it is really not that exciting. You get a generic thank you note, a box of Ferrero Rocher chocolates and your picture on the board in the clubhouse. However, I don't think out picture is up there because I didn't see it when I was in there the other day. Oh well, I looked pretty horrible because I hadn't been able to shower because my luck would be that they would show up while I was in the shower!
Anyway we are all good. The apartment looks a little more lived in now, but really we keep our apartment pretty clean!
