kitty litter

There is kitty litter in my shoes. No joke. Let me tell you how it got there. (yay!) I worked tonight. I got to work in the back (this means I got to clean instead of help customers in the front). When I got there, my manager said to go ahead and drain the fryers, we wouldn't be doing any more frying that night. So, I drained them. A couple minutes later I looked over at one of the fryers and noticed a giant puddle of oil. Someone had filled the fryer too full, and the basket underneath (which holds the oil while we clean the top) had overflowed, creating a giant puddle. I asked my manager what to do, and she said to grab a squeegee and put it down the drain, and grab some kitty litter. Now, I know all about the squeegee (I've used it many a time with ice cream messes and water spills), but I couldn't understand the kitty litter part. I do now. Kitty litter is very absorbant. After I had squeegeed all I could, I sprinkled kitty litter over the floor, and it absorbed the rest of the oil. It was actually really cool. Except the part where I had to clean it up. Wet kitty litter doesn't like to be swept up. At all. And the part where my shoes have holes in them, and I kept walking over the kitty litter to do other things, and some of it did end up in my shoes. and sticking to the bottom of my shoes. I think I'm going to wash my shoes tomorrow.
