I'm being "stalked" by the janitor!


I have worked in many LTC facilities. It seems that I am always being "stalked" no matter which LTC I work in. It seems that everytime I do a "med pass" I am constantly being followed by a man with a wet mop in his hands. The med pass itself is difficult enough. I then have to worry about slipping on the wet floor and breaking my neck too. I am wondering if anyone else is being "stalked" by their janitor?

I *wish* the housekeeper at the hospital was stalking me with her mop - at least then she'd be mopping!

Thanks all for your messages. I guess I should be thankful that at least this janitor always puts up a yellow warning sign when he mops. At a job I had many years ago the janitor would mop and never leave any kind of warning sign. I almost slipped 3-4 times at that other job. Yes I guess I could ask him to quit following me on my med passes.

Search on the internet for "Shoes for Crews"! They make economincal and stylish no~slip footwear. You cannot slip and fall with these shoes on! Our dining services staff wears them. They even do a payroll deduction for staff to purchase them, but they are really very reasonably priced!


On the other hand, what about risk management?

I used to stalk pretty young housekeepers myself. Of course, being tall and handsome with a boyish look helps alot with the females he-he....okay, I'm full of it! But I've had relationships with housekeepers and nurses many times.
