More pain and more sleeplessness...this time of a different kind!

Everyday during harvest, we are all supplied with pre-cooked meals. Generally, they are edible, but flavourless and hit and miss.

Last Saturday, we all had 'butter chicken', which caused an epidemic of food poisoning across the company. I think 75% of staff were ill, up all night running to the toilet for a variety of undescribable symptoms; well, they are describable, but i don't think this is the time or the place for those descriptions!

After 2hrs of proper sleep, a 12hr shift followed. Incorporating a loo stop every 15-30 mins means i probably worked 10 hrs, but hey, i was there at least!

With everyone having the same symptoms we are hopefully going to get the company supplying the meals into some proverbial shit themselves.



Suffice to say there have been a large number of meals left in the fridge every day this past week. I have been surviving on toasted sandwiches and cake all week. hopefully this week the food might get better...
