Not Sure What to Write About

Since I am so new at this blog thing, I am totally drawing a blank on what to write about. I could tell you about my grocery shopping trip today, but you would probably click on the X at the right hand corner of your screen before I was even finished with this post. I could tell you about how really freakishly cold it is today here in Indiana, but that is a total given since it is February and it is winter and it is Indiana, so I will not speak of that either. Hmmmm......Oh I know, maybe I could tell you a little bit about my daughter and her new hair cut and how I apparently have to use my flat iron on it every morning so that it looks just perfect, she is 10yrs. old, but there really isn't much more to say about that.

I finally figured it out, I could tell you about how I make an honest wage. I hope you have some time on your hands to sit and read this, because it is quite an interesting story that I am going to tell you and you may even think I should write a book about it. Well, here I go....

I work in Nutritional Services at a local hospital, that is a fancy name for kitchen worker. I work the pm shift, and my job is to either assemble trays or deliver trays to the patients. I work with mostly high school or college kids and they make my job very interesting. We start are shift at 4pm and we finish delivering trays between 6:30 and 7. Once that job is over, the real fun begins....it is now clean up time. Everyone has their own job that they have to do in the clean up process. Some may unload carts of dirty trays, and some are washing out pots and pans, and one person is going all over the floors retrieving all the dirty dishes, one is loading the dish machine and one is unloading, and there are a few other things going on, but this would make a very long post so I will spare you the details. After all those things are finished, there are two very lucky people that have the priviledge of cleaning out what is called "The Pulper", or in my words "The Crapper". There are two sides to this lovely contraption, one is a big pit and the other is a large shoot. This machine works like a garbage disposal, except all it does is grind up the food and trash that is dumped in these troph like things, so you have to stick your arm up into this machine and pull all of the ground up particals out of the shoot, and let me tell you the odor is just lovely and it really makes me want to run home a have some chicken and spagetti! MMMM Yummmy!! NOT!!!
Well, I guess that somes it up for a good full description of my job. I bet some of you didn't realize what takes place a hospital kitchen and all the fun that you are missing out on. So if you find yourself in Northern Indiana at any point and aren't feeling up to par, come and visit and maybe I will be the one serving you dinner!
