That's exactly the kind of thing a parks or utilities department would keep track of, since it bears heavily on staffing schedules, maintenance, cleaning, budget, etc.
- Cthulhu_ 6y agoAnd exactly the reason why archiving is so important, even though the process and data stored seems trivial and wasteful. Mind you there's plenty of archiving still going on, but it's personal / behavioural data.
- londons_explore 6y agoI could totally imagine there being a team of ~8 people responsible for a few parks. Each day, the foreman decides what to work on (cutting trees, weeding, cleaning the pond, picking litter, repainting railings, etc.). The filling of the fountain might not be planned/scheduled, but simply because the forman saw the sun was out and decided today is the day to switch it on. For that kind of team, there isn't much need to keep paper records.
- gilrain 6y agoAnd does this sort of team exist anywhere outside your imagination? That seems a key point.
- bananabiscuit 6y agoThis comment seems un-necessarily hostile. But yes, I have worked at a small construction company that operated like this with only very coarse grained record keeping.
