Read First, look for a swap! This can be done by posting in the Swaps forum on the discord server, or sending an email to the house. (escher@icc.coop) If you are sick or are experiencing a health or disability related issue, and have not missed 3 or more shifts this term you can fill out [this form|https://docs.google.com/documentforms/d/1aqH7VDvwtfjFJ2epVMWzB3gpHMyYrHAxTlox8mWS1JMe/1FAIpQLSci_-YhuF2KmxWQFthj2q0a4e2OzfqE1O2VvKyUJbUxLmfVjw/edit?usp=sharing Member's Guide to Work at Escherviewform]! It is crucial that you understand how to request a swap and "call in sick." Members are usually excused from house labor in cases like these. '''Please, under what no circumstances show up to a shift with an infectious disease.''' If you may submit for are out of the house on a planned trip or otherwise are aware in advance that you will need to miss more than 1 week of chores. See: [[Release_Requests#Work_Release|Work Release Requests|work release]]. As  ==== I can make my kitchen shift, but I do have a remindercough. Should I go? ====No. If you have new symptoms, when you filled out it is a health code violation to work in an industrial kitchen. Please let the [[Work|Work SurveyKitchen Manager]] and your shift leader know of your absence as soon as possible and you checked a box stating you read and understood that documentwill be excused from your shift. Make sure this is true so you don't rack up any fines!
==== Can I really change anything I want here by asking the house to vote? ====
* Because you prefer the type of work to other house labor like kitchen cleaning
* To serve those around you in a big way!
 
==== Where can I store my stuff over the summer? ====
The [[Trunk Room]] provides deep storage to members in accordance with our Trunk Room policy (see the [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzfIIXgFbHwNa1BNUW9NRk5ZYlk/view?usp=sharing standing rules]. This large room has enough space for a typical member to store all their belongings, which enables a convenient pattern: move everything to the trunk room in May when school lets out, then return to Escher in the fall and move everything back in. It is secured by a door code known only by house officers, so if you need access, reach out on in the #ask-an-officer thread on the [[Escher Discord Server|Discord]].
 
==== What is EscherFest? ====
[[Social Events#EscherFest | EscherFest]] is a music festival hosted by our coop (almost) every semester. Organized by the social chair, EscherFest brings popular local bands to the comfort of our [[Rec Room]]. This event is open to all, so feel free to invite your friends!
