Around the office a large amount of people have been getting sick. I don’t know what it is about the office environment, but it seems like illness spreads faster around there than other workplaces that I’ve been at. Interestingly, people aren’t succumbing to a single type of illness. Some people are coughing, while others are drippy and aching. So, I’m having to battle it out with two or three viruses coming from multiple sources. I have to be careful not to wipe my eyes too much or bring my hands too close to my nose or mouth without having clean hands (hey, it happens).
I consider myself mindful, but I mean, there’s nothing I can do if someone chooses not to wash their hands while sick. If I had the misfortune of someone secretly licking my keyboard, I would have no way of knowing–except for maybe the faint odour of stale saliva lingering in the air. So…I mean, as much as I take precautions, it’s not impossible for me to get ill.
Thing is, I think I may have picked something up. Ever since coming home from my monitoring shift today (last one, thank God), I’ve been blowing my nose a lot. I think I’m starting to develop a small headache as well. Tomorrow morning, if I’m feeling noticeably more rotten, I’ll take something to aid in the biological battle.
Damn everyone!!!!
