I was supposed to be washing windows this morning

instead I got stuck in the worset shower I have ever seen. Claudette had bleached it yesterday. I went in there to clean it and she told me to open all of the windows and to get a face mask. Claudette has never told anyone to wear a face mask for anything and she is constantly telling us to close windows. I was scared.

The bleach fumes when I was rinsing the bleach off of the shower walls were terrible. They cut right through my face mask. Also there was this horrible black fungus I had to scrub off.

I think I might be developing an alergic reaction to the Ajax. I have had a really gunky nose and throat the last two days. Last night I took a decongestant before I went to bed. When I woke up this morning I was mostly cleared up. This lasted until a little before nine 'o clock, about the time the cleaning solutions were getting out and used, then my nose started running, I was sneazing inside my face mask. It was nasty. Now I'm starting to lose my voice again. :(

One of the girls I work with who doesn't use a face mask said that now everytime she brushes her teeth her gums start bleeding.

I feel like there is stuff in my lungs but this could simply be a psychological reaction. Last night at the diner table my father was asking me about my working conditions and sounding genuinely concerned for my health. He's never worried about that stuff. That is to say, he's unlikely to think a situation is actually unhealthy. Hee was acting like he was thinking about making me quit which I protested, but this morning I would have been so excited if someone had come in a told me I didn't have to work anymore after today.

sigh

just two more hours . . .
