Well, today ends my 3rd day at my new job, and what an exciting day it was!
I work for a company that recycles, re-uses, re-sells and refines electronics. We have more business than we can handle right now. Which is good, but it's happening faster than we can rent buildings, semi-trailers and hire workers...
So I guess we have this large dumpster on our site where residents can come in and drop off their electronics when we are closed. They empty it each morning to process the items left there.
I learned today that a homeless man was living in this dumpster, and he used one corner of it for "unmentionable deposits"...when our supervisors that run the back (unloading, sorting, weighing, tearing down, etc..) found out, they told the workers to LEAVE it and DO NOT take the items out of there because they didn't want pooh covered electronics in the back, nor did they feel it was healthy to touch them to process them.
Well, the workers emptied it and I guess the entire back of our facility smelled like those unmentionable deposits... To add to their misery (because the warehouse part is not air conditioned) The guys in charge of fumagating the trailers before they unload them (we get trailers full of electronics from all over the USA) to eliminate rats and cockroaches...forgot to fumigate a few of them, so our facility (which is nice, and new) and two other storage and processing facilities have a small cockroach problem.
One made his way up to my office today. I let him live long enough to name him Hank, and I found a ream of paper to toss on him. When a bug is longer than 2 inches I do not step on it while wearing expensive shoes, nor do I want to feel the crunch of their shell breaking under my foot. GROSS!
So today was very exciting at work. Large-freaky looking Texas sized cockroaches running around and homeless man pooh al over a dumpster of electronics dropped off for recycling.
Care to try and beat that?
LOL
