January 15, 2019 at 7:35 amSounds like the conversations we have with our equipment at work too. Right now we’re waiting on maintenance to come fix our broken disposal, which if the health dept knew about it, we’d be shut down. :-/
Our kitchen is SO frigging broken and admin keeps sticking bandaids on it hoping shit won’t fall all the way apart for another two years until they get the new middle school built. Until then..we get to try and make lunch for 400 some odd kids with equipment that doesn’t exactly work right.
