    Try being IT in a school district. I touch computers that have been touched by hundreds of children every day. But what's even more gross, the teacher's laptops! Who knows what some of them do with those things at home. No way do I want some of those laptops anywhere near my lap. Gloves and hand sanitizer are my two best friends.

    I sit in one of many teleworker cubes semi-weekly and there's a big *kitten* canister of sani-wipes in amost every cube. I use them before and after each shift on the keyboard, mouse, phone, and nearby desk surfaces. Yay "work" for being proactive.

    Now if they'd only provide enough IT assets (e.g. keyboards, cables, etc.) for each t-cube so they'd stop growing feet and walking away...

    *looks down at 3 year old keyboard*

    D@MN. And I wipe it down once a month too. I'm having flashbacks to Gattaca, actually. Maybe I'll bring my Saitek in tomorrow.

    Back when I worked in Desktop I dealt with a few of those. Usually I would just throw away the keyboard and bring them a new one.

    It was always a woman too. Always. Disgusting.

    You do know that you have the right to refuse work that may affect your well being in any way, right? Pretty sure that qualifies.

    Ewww.....thas awful... interested in knowing what sort of IT jobs fo u guys do? Hunting for one padt 5 years but alas

    I do network design and instillations, my advice would be to get certified in whatever field you want to go into. If its networking look into Cisco and microsoft certs, if its general IT look in microsoft and comp tia. Also get any experience that you can, certs used to mean a job but not anymore.
    i would love to go in testing field but no jobs since i do not have experience :(
