What fun we have when we go to work on Saturday?

 

“Go to work on Saturday, how boring!” – This is my feeling when I litened Sarah present about the rule of the company on the first day I entered Saxa. But after some time, it is my most anticipated day on the week. Not because the next day is Sunday, but that something special can only be made in Saturday.

The special thing is that: Cleaning the company.

Remember the first day I entered Saxa, I was wondering if anyone sweep the dirty floor, dump the filled trash, tidy front yard full of dead leaves, ... now I’ve found that elusive character. It’s us.

Immediately after the flag-raising minutes, we splited up to work in Moony’s assignment. I and Alex took responsibility for living room. While I was cleaning the tables and chairs, Alex’s eagerly preparing water for floor cleaner. I showed my doubt about the ability of cleaning of Alex, he grinned and boasted, since he separated with his parent, he exercised house works to take care of his little family, he had to do the works that he’d never done before, he helped his wife cleaning the house and taking care of their children. Looking at Alex when he bunched his pants and wiped every corners of the house made me more affect the closeness of the most diligent Sale guy in company.

The other teams do not seem peace like us. There are many rumbled sounds echoed from the storeroom. Everybody kept calling Sarah asked "Where is the broom", "Are there any garbage shovel", "My sister, Lu snatches my towel " ... agitated that I think, do not need more ducks it is enough to become a market already. Being the center of the reluctant market, Sarah divided the instruments and occasionally paused to hug belly laugh for the sentences of the kids. So on, we bricked our work between laughter and throbbing music.

The atmosphere made me imagine the scene of housecleaning with my family to Tet days. The enthusiasm about good year is evident in the nameless little work that we do everydays, suddenly became especially on the last days of this year. And just like that, just sweeping the house, cleaning yard, watering the garden during Saturday morning made our weekend more bright yellow, waiting for more exciting and fresh new work week. And ever since, I feel like I'm at home, next to my brothers, relatives and casual to strange on the special Saturdays.
