Dishwasher Drama

This morning, after the dishwasher was emptied, it was discovered that there was a lot of standing water in the bottom of the dishwasher.

It is possible that the dishwasher was opened during the washing cycle on Friday to add dishes and the cycle was not finished because the resume button was not pushed back on.

If you use any dishes in the cupboards today (and maybe tomorrow too), you may want to hand wash them to make sure that they are actually washed.

It is imperative that if you interrupt the washing cycle at any time, you must push the resume button so that the dishwashing process is finished.  

Maybe the best thing to do is not to interrupt the cycle and hand wash your dishes if you get to the kitchen after kitchen duty has been completed for the day (after 4:00).  The person who empties the dishwasher has no clue that the cycle was not completed.

Thank you.

Note the time. I had just finished my morning cup of tea 15 minutes before the email arrived. I’m almost positive everyone else is looking disgusted at their own cup of tea or coffee this morning. I would appreciate a WEE bit more promptness on such an email.

And everyone know it’s CAROL that unloads the dishwasher in the morning (and cleans the counters and the microwave and the floors and the sink, AGAIN because she doesn’t trust the person who has kitchen duty to clean the kitchen the way she cleans the kitchen). As if the large nasty tepid pool of food-clogged water in the bottom of the dishwasher wasn’t a clue to “the person who empties the dishwasher” that the dishwasher didn’t complete it’s cycle.

Ugh.

On another side note, since we now have to wash our own dishes by hand after 4pm because some slackers can’t wait until 4:45 LIKE THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO to do their kitchen duty, then I think I’m just going to do MY kitchen duty at 2pm. Since it doesn’t really matter…
