Hey ho! Some of you may know that Lori Elrick and I are “organizers” and “cleaners”. And every so often we get an itch to clean up a space here at JPL. The Staff Kitchen is on our To-Do List.
On or after January 19, Lori and I will be deep cleaning the Staff Kitchen. We’re going to remove everything from the refrigerator, freezer, and cupboards and clean all the shelves and make decisions on what comes out of/off of those shelves. We also may tackle re-organizing the wall of paper.
This is your one week notice to take care of anything that belongs to you that you don’t want us to “mess with.” The best place for you to store personal items is: 1) put it and your name on one of the white baskets on top of the refrigerator and put in a cupboard, refrigerator or freezer, 2) put it in your locker or desk, or 3) take it home.
- Any items labeled with a staff person’s name will be put back where they came from.
- Any items relating to a department, such as Public Services, will be put back where they came from.
- Food, both perishable and non-perishable, that is past its expiration date will be discarded.
- Non-expired food, both-perishable and non-perishable, with no identifying information as to whom it belongs will be placed on the staff table and owners should label it or take it home.
- Extra mugs, glasses, flatware, serving utensils, etc. will be downsized and placed on a table for staff to claim. If not claimed within one week, items will be discarded or donated.
Don’t freak out. We’re not heartless and we won’t discard anything of value. 🙂
