  I was assigned the task of cleaning our three ovens at work.  I got one done easily two days ago,
  but the hardest one to do is the big top oven that's almost constantly on and in use.  I figured I would
  spray the oven cleaner in it last night and finish the job this morning, but then I realized it would
  take too much time out of a busy morning, so I stayed late and did it last night.  Good call.  8)

^ My mum once used oven cleaner that was so strong, the screws from the inside started coming out and shooting across the room. Maybe the oven you cleaned was more the catering type, though, so I'd assume that sort of thing wouldn't happen.

I used to clean the showerhead by leaving it in cheap vinegar. It works REALLY well, comes out like new. Except once I left it for too long and it affected the rubber.

Did that too.

Before I did not have a showerhead with rubber, so it never crossed my mind things could go wrong.  :asthing: :asthing: :asthing:

Worked cleaning up my (old) bedroom looking for some paperwork.  Didn't find that paperwork, but did find a document that cannot be reissued (Federal tax ID number, don't know why it can't be re-issued, but they said it couldn't) and one of my 2 pairs of glasses that have been misplaced since August or so.

  I got the laundry started after almost a whole day of stalling.  Baby steps.  :autism:

I did all the laundry on Monday while working. :arrr:

I made a neat start with painting the doors in my renovated kitchen.

Was it difficult programming yourself?  Do you ever take in laundry?  I could send you quite a lot to be done.

For a small fee. :zoinks:

  Today I was proactive at work and did a couple of big cleaning projects that were long overdue.  8)

Did a pretty nifty script to append some legal commentary today. Probably saved the company a lot more than the cost of the script.

And I have to add, it works like a charm. Sometimes it's hugely satisfying to do these things.

Thanks. :)

I wouldn't complain about the pay. There are better contracts out there but this one is long term, which is always a good thing.
