Kash and Sevan arrived at Miss J's to find that she was a past beneficiary and serial relocator. Today she'd asked for help to unpack in her new flat.

The task itself was short as Miss J's social worker had already found the essentials (I.e. her kettle). The breakdown was:

  • 4:00pm: Meet Miss J at the entrance to her sheltered accommodation
  • 4:01pm: Miss J says that she's going outside for a cigarette
  • 4:11pm: Miss J returns and the trio go to her flat
  • 4:15pm: Arrive at Miss J's flat where Miss J sits on her bed
  • 4:16pm: Direct Miss J on how to reach the light switch behind her head, even though there is already enough light to complete the task
  • 4:20pm: Light switch is finally on. Start of mission ⏱️
  • 4:20pm: Asked to clear a path to the windows by moving boxes
  • 4:30pm: Access to windows is complete. There are no boxes to unpack
  • 4:31pm: Sevan turns off the light switch on the way out ⏱️

The end

Maybe it's ok that Miss J didn't need unpacking more boxes after all. It's the 3rd place I was doing a mission for her! Who knows when she's moving again?
