[ENG/ESP] A productive Monday at Sunsol Isla Caribe.
On Monday morning, we had to go to Sunsol Isla Caribe to clean tank No. 3, which supplies water to the hotel's drinking water bottling plant. As I do every day, I got up early to go to work and start the week off on the right foot. Fortunately, the weather started to improve yesterday, and with each passing day there is less rain. That fills me with motivation, as I love sunny days. Seeing the clear sky gives me energy, and feeling the warmth of the sun gives me enough encouragement to prepare myself to face any challenge the day may bring.
El lunes en la mañana nos tocaba ir a Sunsol Isla Caribe para realizar la limpieza del tanque Nº 3, que es el que le surte agua a la embotelladora de agua potable del hotel. Como cada día, me levanté temprano para salir a trabajar y comenzar con buen pie una semana productiva. El clima, por suerte, desde ayer comenzó a mejorar, y cada día que pasa son menos las lluvias. Eso me llena de motivación, ya que adoro los días soleados. Me da energía ver el cielo despejado y sentir el calor del sol me da el suficiente ánimo para prepararme para enfrentar cualquier reto del día.
We left promptly at 7:00 a.m. to pick up the staff who would be working with us. We always make sure to arrange transportation for them, so we picked each one up at the agreed-upon locations and, at the end of the day, took them back to the same places. Before starting the route, we first stopped by the warehouse, where we loaded all the necessary tools for cleaning the tank, including extraction pumps, hoses, brooms, brushes, buckets, and hypochlorite. Each tool is essential, and we made sure not to leave anything behind.
Salimos puntualmente a las 7:00 a.m. a recoger al personal que trabajaría con nosotros. Siempre nos preocupamos por garantizar su transportación, por eso pasamos por cada uno en los puntos acordados y, al terminar la jornada, los regresamos a los mismos lugares. Antes de iniciar el recorrido, pasamos primero por el depósito, donde cargamos con todos los instrumentos necesarios para la limpieza del tanque, bombas de extracción, mangueras, escobas, cepillos, cubetas e hipoclorito. Cada herramienta es clave, y nos aseguramos de no dejar nada atrás.
We headed to the hotel, and when we arrived, as it was a pre-arranged visit, they were already waiting for us at the tanker entrance to sign in and register the inventory of our materials.
Tomamos rumbo al hotel, y al llegar, como era una visita previamente programada, ya nos esperaban por la entrada de tanker para firmar la entrada y registrar el inventario de nuestros materiales.
Once that step is complete, we inspect the tank before starting, assessing its general condition and planning the work to be done. Then we begin to lower the equipment: the pumps, hoses, and other necessary implements. As always, I am responsible for remaining at the top, monitoring the constant operation of the pumps, ensuring that nothing interrupts the extraction of water. Meanwhile, my colleagues perform the most intense work, such as descending to the bottom of the tank, scrubbing the walls, and carefully applying the hypochlorite.
Cumplido ese paso, inspeccionamos el tanque antes de comenzar, evaluando su condición general y planificando el trabajo a seguir. Luego comenzamos a bajar los equipos: las bombas, las mangueras y demás implementos necesarios. A mí, como siempre, me toca quedarme en la parte superior, velando por el funcionamiento constante de las bombas, asegurándome de que nada interrumpa la extracción del agua. Mientras tanto, mis compañeros realizan la labor más intensa como bajar al fondo del tanque, fregar las paredes y aplicar el hipoclorito cuidadosamente.
The quality control team was present at all times, checking every detail of the process. Since the tank contained more water than expected this time, it took us a little longer to empty it. Fortunately, we always bring more than one pump, which makes the job easier and reduces physical effort. In addition, I make sure that workers take regular breaks to breathe fresh air and avoid potential accidents from using chemicals or prolonged confinement.
Los muchachos de control de calidad estuvieron presentes en todo momento, verificando cada detalle del proceso. Como esta vez el tanque contenía más agua de la prevista, tardamos un poco más en vaciarlo. Afortunadamente, siempre llevamos más de una bomba, lo que facilita el trabajo y reduce el esfuerzo físico. Además, me aseguro de que los trabajadores tomen descansos periódicos para respirar aire fresco y evitar posibles accidentes por el uso de químicos o el encierro prolongado.
Towards the end, a little muddy water came out, caused by residue accumulated on the walls. However, this tank was not as dirty as others we have encountered previously. It was clear that it had been maintained with some regularity.
Ya casi al final, salió un poco de agua con lodo, producto del residuo acumulado en las paredes. Sin embargo, este tanque no estaba tan sucio como otros que hemos encontrado anteriormente. Se notaba que había recibido mantenimiento con cierta regularidad.
After finishing the cleaning, we proceeded to clone the walls, that is, apply a final layer of disinfection. I was only able to take a few photos, as my allergies to hypochlorite prevent me from spending much time inside the tank, even to take photos. The guys are very strict about that.
Luego de terminar la limpieza, procedimos a clonar las paredes, es decir, aplicar una última capa de desinfección. Solo pude tomar algunas fotos, ya que por mis alergias al hipoclorito no se me permite estar mucho tiempo dentro del tanque ni para tomar fotos, los muchachos son muy celosos en eso.
With the work completed, we closed the tank and prepared for a snack. As is tradition, we took a group photo, laughing and sharing the satisfaction of a mission accomplished. Then we began the return trip, dropping everyone off at their respective homes. Thus, we concluded a Monday of effort and commitment, with the feeling of having started the week on the right foot.
Con el trabajo ya terminado, cerramos el tanque y nos dispusimos a merendar. Como ya es tradición, nos tomamos una foto grupal, riendo y compartiendo la satisfacción de una misión cumplida. Luego emprendimos el regreso, dejando a cada uno en su respectiva casa. Así cerramos un lunes de esfuerzo y compromiso, con la sensación de haber comenzado la semana con el pie derecho.
Well, dear friends, when it comes to productivity, that's how we're starting this week. Not every day is as hard as today, but each one has its value. I bid you farewell, wishing you a happy and productive start to the week. I'll see you again in another one of my posts.
See you soon.
Bye!

You and your team had a productive day. You were keen on finishing the task carefully and perfectly as the task also requires precision. Work wouldn't feel that heavy if we are together with team members who can do the job well and camaraderie is present.
The truth is that I love my team, they are very conscientious, selfless and concerned that everything runs smoothly.
Thank you for your words @bettsmarie09.
Have a beautiful week 🌹🌷🌺🌻🥀💮🌼💐🪷🌸🏵️🪻🍀
Amiga Tania, ¡Qué trabajo tan admirable el que realizan tu y tu equipo de trabajo! A veces no nos damos cuenta del esfuerzo y la organización que hay detrás del mantenimiento de servicios esenciales como el agua potable. Me parece increíble lo detallado de tu post, se nota el compromiso y el profesionalismo con el que hacen las cosas. ¡Gracias por compartirlo, me encantó 😊!
Gracias querida María. Si tenemos el compromiso con los hoteles para los que trabajamos y con todos nuestros clientes. Un buen servicio, es el que nos identifica.

Que bonito equipo hermana y se nota la camaradería y responsabilidad , uyy no sabía que entraban al tanque!! . Excelente trabajo ! 👌🏾
Si hermana @lileisabel , es un gran equipo. Soy la única mujer, cuidan mucho de mi.
Al tanque hay que entrar porque se le da cepillo a las paredes y se clora, para eliminar bacterias y microorganismos.
Gracias por tus palabras, ten una linda tarde 🌹🌷🌺🌻🥀💮🌼💐🪷🌸🏵️🪻🍀
This is we called team work. The work is fast to be done when everyone is working. It's best that there's water in there. In the city where my province located, water is lacking.
We are a great team and we support each other. Water is very precious so we have to take care of it.
Thank you for your words. Have a wonderful day 🌹🌷🌺🌻🥀💮🌼💐🪷🌸🏵️🪻🍀

Thank you for your words, the truth is that we have a great team, we love what we do, we have the responsibility and commitment to our customers.
