EWWWW!

Talk about a creep out. On Monday of this week it came to my attention, as well as several other peoples in the kitchen, that we were not alone in the kitchen. We had many little critters with us. These little critters were coming out of a drain grate on the salad areas floor. The grate was covered by a table so it was hard to clean. I immediately felt that me body was crawling with bugs. I was glad that my shift was almost over because I wanted to get out of there. We have a full time exterminator working for the Univ. He comes every week. Finally, the manager of our facility came over and saw the infestation. He said that it was the worst one he had ever seen. That evening the exterminator came over and put poison, ( to the bugs, not us) all over the area. he has come several times again this week. The manager has also hired a janitorial person to clean the floors etc. every night. We haven't had one since last summer. We are supposed to have been cleaning up our areas every night before we go home, which we have been doing. The problem with that is that by the time we have gotten all of our work done, a lot of us have already worked over 8 hrs already. We are not supposed to get overtime hours and we are already exhausted. we have been sweeping and trash emptying and damp mopping the floors, with cold water and a premixed sanitation solution, The mops are also in need of a washing themselves. Any way, the critters seem to be dying off, except for the fact that today I was preparing a meat and cheese tray when one of the critters suddenly appeared and ran across my arm. I can hardly wait to get into our brand new facilities, hopefully by Sept. 1. I hope that the critters stay behind.
