Please tell me that it was the handwashing monitor who was fired, not the secretary....

Yes, the hand washing monitor was, our secretaries are like the hounds of hell when it comes to letting people in! Bad wording on my part, night shift haze had settled in lol

It must be because the nurse doing the education was overweight.
