and im like sure...

so ya he's been there the entire day, and everytime i walk by he is like hacking coughing and **** and not washing his hands, or using cleenex and typing on my key board /using my mouse and touching everything on my desk

Get some of that no water needed disinfectant stuff for your hands like they have in hospitals. Keep it at your desk. It'll save your life.

Who cares. There is probably 10X the germs on the door handle that you use on your way out.

Nope, germs cannot stick easily to that surface, too slippery and wrong shape. But anyways, ya man that is sick. I hate when people at the office cough and cough and cough...like get a drink of water or a cough candy, jeeze. They have disinfectant wipes available like the ones that come in the plastic dispenser for your car dash, etc. Wipe down your phone, mouse and keyboard!

Smokers who smell don't wash their clothes.

There is 1 report of avian flu in Calgary. It'll be here soon enough.

A statement made by Public Health Canada is that the Influenza Vaccine for 2006-07 season has been delayed. Flu vaccine manufacturers have had problems growing one of the strains recommended for this season’s flu shot. This year the World Health Organization, who make their annual recommendation in mid-February, have recommended this year’s influenza vaccine to contain an A/New Caledonia-like, an A/Wisconsin-like and a B/Malaysia–like virus strains. The delay is in getting the appropriate seed strain for the A/Wisconsin strain. It is anticipated that the Flu vaccine will be available to us sometime in November. The ideal time to be vaccinated is anywhere from October to November.

just take vitamin pills. lots of Vitamin C...and wash your hands regularly...and door handles arent any better then a **** on a sink...TRUST ME. germs stick anywhere'

Heres an idea...if you come in on a day when your sick...you get paid half of what you normally do..so that should reduce the need to wana work
