The White Glove Award!

Chocolate and a congratulations letter!

Since moving into our Disney apartment, we have had a certain event and day on our minds. The day of our inspection. Because we are living in an apartment that is "contracted out," we cannot damage anything-intentionally and unintentionally. You would think that the company would expect some wear and tear to come with people working and living from semester to semester. However, the inspection code they put forth is a tough one. We have been preparing for the last week by taking down pictures, straightening, and cleaning/scrubbing down everything. There are three classifications given during an inspection-Failed, Passed, and the White Glove Award. If an apartment fails, each tenat is charged $50 in order to have a professional team clean the entire apartment (a little crazy, I know). A simple Pass is a good stamp of approval, saying that the apartment is in good condition. The coveted award that is presented to only a few apartments is the White Glove Award. If you receive the white glove award, you are rewarded with a letter that stays on your record for your cleanliness and coherence with the apartment living code. You also get really, really good chocolate for everyone in the apartment! We cleaned and cleaned very hard and were all very excited when we received the White Glove Award yesterday at our inspection! The chocolate is good (Ferrero Rocher), and we have all been enjoying our success. I am so relieved, because I can now put all of my pictures and wall hanging again!
