Hey Lizzie, it's Eric on Spy.
00:03
Okay,
00:06
I just got off the phone with the fire department.
00:09
They wanted to know whether we could clean it up entirely ourselves or if we needed their help.
00:19
Do you think you can contain the spill yourself or do you want the fire department to assist?
00:28
I do not have enough kitty litter to clean up the whole spill.
00:33
It is quite large.
00:37
Should I go get more kitty litter or would the fire department handle it? I don't want to bother them.
00:45
I think it's best to stay at the Memorial Union to keep an eye on it.
00:49
The fire department advised me to contact environmental health and safety, which I am doing now.
00:54
I want you there as my eyes in case I need to give updates to the fire department.
01:00
I'll call them back and tell them to come help you.
01:06
Okay, standby at the Memorial Union.

I'm close to the bottom of my bucket, but I've contained the spill.

Give me an update when you hear from environmental health.

I'll keep you updated. How much kitty litter do you have? What does it say on the bucket?

Okay, give me one second.
