So today I'm feeling excited.
Usually for a job I'm a cook, but being a casual worker I am classed as a floater. Being able to jump in where needed. Do anything from baking cakes and biscuits, cooking soups, custards and porridge in a 200 litre kettle or cooking mains in a 450 litre bratt pan. But this month I have been in the distribution room.
Where 1750 meals leave our facility a day. It has been way to cold for my liking. Most days distribution rooms are held at about 1.6 degrees Celsius.
The food is brought to me after blast chilling process has taken place. From here I bag meals and cryovac them. This is our cryovac machine.
From there I pack orders onto trolleys where they are loaded onto the truck and distributed to aged care facilities in the local area.
So far I have done three weeks of this and now only have one week to go, so I'm feeling super excited to get out of the cold. Gets a little hot at lunch in our 38 degree summer days, due to the fact I have way to many layers of clothes on. I really just wanted to give you a sneak peak of how it's done.
Got to love the whole casual worker situation (I have worked 30 to 38hrs a week, for over a year in this department and worked for the company over two years, but am still casual 😳 Its ok because I have a job. But I want some holidays. Even have to work Christmas 😓 but if we don't, the elderly would not be feed 😀. )
Thanks for reading.
Thanks for your support.
