    yeah right, that would actually be SEMI- considerate, Mikey.
    I work in an office too, people thought I came to work sick cause I always sneeze, ALWAYS. Now, they all know that's what I do, I am a freaking SNEEZER, I once sneezed over 15 times in a row. No one says bless you anymore..:laugh:

    I like to go into the office sick and not do work all day, but then take a day off when I'm feeling stellar :bigsmile:

    Exactly. :happy:

    It is people like this that I loathe. I have been sick on so many of my birthdays because of selfish people like this. Last year I had to cancel my Christmas party AND the rescheduled party because sick people can't stay the hell away from healthy people.
    What the hell is wrong with you? Are you so selfish that you can't see that you're interfering with other people's lives? That you're causing other people to lose out on sick days/$$? YOU are costing THEM money because you're so selfish and inconsiderate.

    I do not hesitate to tell sick people to stay the *kitten* away from me. My friends know better that to come near me when sick.
    My co-workers? I'd call them out on the spot. No reason for this crap, you're an adult, grow up and take responsibility for your actions.

    I told my admin to get the hell out of my office yesterday morning because I don't want to catch her funk like some of my other coworkers have. She's like "a good morning would have been nice, but I've had this over a week so I'm not contagious anymore". OK. Well, you're making me sick just having to listen to you cough up a lung cookie every other minute, so I repeat, get the hell out of my office.

    If I had any- I would. I'm gonna bring a box to work and PUT IT WHERE EVERYONE CAN SEE IT.

    What confuses me are people who take it too far and get overly paranoid about germs and push for purell dispensers outside the restrooms and in meeting rooms, but don't bother thinking about silly little things like elevator buttons.

    That is why I only touch everything in the office with only my elbows. #skills

    But it still aggravates the hell out of me when adults do not cover their mouths when they are coughing... REALLY?? :mad:

    I work with kids and I will Lysol the heck out of my office after a sick kid has been in here!

    I'm all for Lysol-ing kids. Mine is a germ factory and she's 19!

    Our boss comes in sick all the time. We call him out on it and he swears it's allergies. Really? You must be a medical miracle because your allergies are freaking contagious. We're all gonna have them in three days.

    Oh, gag me. I hate people who see the need to spread their disease with the world. I used to work food service and can not tell you the number of times I had to say something to some jerk waitress who hacked into her hands and then immediately grabbed a guest's plate or cup or put her nasty little infectious hands into the ice bin.

    Yup, if you have your own personal work space, sick people need to stay out. When my kids are sick, guess where they are?
    their room! Sometimes the couch if it's more than 2 days or a high fever. I hate the hacking and nose blowing too, disgusting.

    The problem is, a lot of times, you almost feel like you get punished for calling in sick. At my old job, unless they actually saw you puking, they didn't believe you when you called in. Then when you got back to work, had twice as much work piled on you because "you weren't there to do it" the day before. They would make us feel guilty for being sick and calling in....so eventually we had people coming in with the flu because they were afraid of being fired for calling in. Sad...but I see this at a LOT of companies!

    Sometimes I think I have jedi mind powers to be able to make people sneeze multiple times in a row.

    *first sneeze*

    "Bless--" *purposely pauses*

    *second sneeze*"

    "--you!" *evil grin*

    I wish more companies understood sick leave. I get zero sick days at my job. :cry: But I have, and will continue to stay home if I am ill. Because I've been listening to Mr Maybe I Have A Sinus Infection on the other side of my office sniffing and snotting all day. Ick. I'm so anti sick that I won't even blow my nose in public. I go to the bathroom. LOL! :bigsmile:

    I used to share an office with a guy who would use my waste-paper basket (under my desk and mere inches from my leg) for his snotty tissues because his basket was all filled up with empty Diet Coke bottles.

    He was offended when he reached over one day to thrown one away and I sprayed him with Lysol.

    Right- that's another thing- Our company is VERY laid back and understanding when it comes to people needing time off, whether it be because they are sick or b/c they have something they need to do. Very lenient.

    Awwwwwww, you can't take a joke. God bless your perfect soul.

    FYI, sweet pea- I run the company and I have a big cushy office where no one needs to even come near me :)

    But it still aggravates the hell out of me when adults do not cover their mouths when they are coughing... REALLY?? :mad:

    I work with kids and I will Lysol the heck out of my office after a sick kid has been in here!

    i work with kids part-time. they always want to hug and hang on me, but i give them the "all of the love, none of the touch" schpeel and they're pretty good about respecting it. or i tell them that i'm a little sick, even if i'm not (which i rarely am, and if i were, i wouldn't go in to a school), and that i don't want them to catch it.

    yeah, it's a lot of air hugs, but they are cool about it.

    eta: i hate using lysol or "disinfectant" sprays, that clear weird alcohol gel and all the other germ-killing things. i actually feel like because i don't use them i don't get sick very often, or that when i do get sick, most of those things wouldn't have prevented it anyway. so my favorite choice is washing my hands often, using good lotion and a sincere lack of touching without making anyone feel weird or uncared for.

    Good idea- so should I tell her air hugs only? Or should I just tell her we're playing 'who can hold their breath the longest' ...that sounds like a better idea in this case . LOL

    Be procactive either tell them to wear a mask or you wear one yourself.. If they are too stupid to take care of themselves then you need to do it for them:grumble: .
    Carry around a small bottle of hand sanitizer and use it often...
    Remember some people are just plain STUPID!!!

    LYSOL, Meet face, face meet LYSOL.

    Aaaaah Haaaah! I did that to my boss once! He said, "Why did you do that?" I said, "Don't you get your sick germs on me!" Man was the rest of my day nice, after doing that. I had wanted to do that for years. Every time he came in really sick, and would breathe in my direction, and hand me paperwork with his sick germs on it... Might be one thing if he was one of those employers that found his employees worthy of group health insurance, and employees had the means to go to a doctor. But here, no bannana...... his priorities are with classic cars first. :( So that day I sprayed him, man did that feel good! Haaaaah. :laugh:
