It used to be a big friggin' mess.

We've recently installed a whiteboard, which lists common tasks such 
as 'clean the toilets', 'vacuum X' (for all possible rooms X in our
space), replace paper towels in kitchen and toilet, mop kitchen floor,
etc...

Each row has one task, followed by the desired frequency (1/f gives
1 week, fortnight, 3 months, etc..). After that comes the name of
the person who last did it and the date the task is due for. There's
one last column that contains a red X if the task is overdue.

This seems to work pretty well so far.

They don't.

I sat down on an office chair in one of our rooms once, to discover there
was chewing gum on it. Now that made me pissed.

Hackers are swines.
