Deep Clean

I ended up doing something a little different at work today.

As...idk at the beginning of the month? We were given the task to deep clean our Iso room and our New Arrivals room.

Deep cleaning meaning take everything out and like cleaning it with bleach.

Which is crazy because like...I can't remember ever cleaning a room with bleach.
But that's what the head honchos wanted us to do.

Deep clean it all.

The problem?

We haven't had time to do so.

Why?

Because for the past forever we've only had like...one opener and like one closer.
We've been very bare bones it feels like.
Mostly because we haven't been given the hours to be able to have more of my coworkers in the store at a time.

Which makes it difficult to deep clean anything because like it's probably a two hour job at least.
And when it can take my entire shift to just open up the department....

There's not really any time available to do a deeper clean like corporate wanted us to do because I can't try and deep clean a room and be present on the floor at the same time.
I would be doing a lot of walking back and forth between the front of the store and the back of the store.

So the solution?

We haven't done anything.

Until today.
Because with the holiday season starting up.
We've been given more hours.
And so the managers scheduled more people to work today. 

But it was a bit more than bleaching the room that the manager planned.

No he wanted us to REPAINT it too.

Which meant taking everything off the walls. washing the walls -with bleach- and filling any holes in the walls and such before repainting them.

So once my other coworkers showed up for their shifts.
That's what we did.
One coworker watched the floor.

While me and another coworker pulled everything out of our sick room. Washed the walls with bleach, patched the holes with putty, taped the areas we didn't want paint to get on, and then worked on painting.

Spent a good three hours at that....and ended up leaving my coworker to finish the job on their own because my shift ended.

But hopefully, when I come in tomorrow morning, everything will be done and we'll be able to put everything back into the sick room.

And then move onto our New Arrivals room and repeat the process.

Should be fun lol. 

Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
