Isn't germ warfare supposed to be illegal?
If there's one thing I hate more than spending most of the holiday season ill, it's getting back to work only to be subjected yet again to all the virus' and colds it's just took me an entire holiday to shift.
It's just a ticking time bomb of lemsip and beechams, ready to go off at any moment, and it's not helped by those generous office folk who feel the need to share such charms of the winter season with the rest of us. I am, of couse, talking about those fellow staff members who cough and splatter all over the place without a care in the world for anyone else.
I lost count of the amount of times today I had to remind a 'certain person' to put their hand over their mouth and face the opposite direction when attempting to cough a lung up. Usually with everytime being greeted with a comment of "You won't catch anything". In the end I actually had to resort to pulling articles off the web about the subject and highlighting the "how its spread" section before that 'certain person' would take notice.
Now I could have tried to get my own back ... well, actually I did. Not anything nasty mind you. I didn't spray her seat with mustard gas or anything, I just merely sat there for the majority of the day wearing a cut-out gas mask. Hey, it was the first day back - you aren't expected to work...right?!

Bloody annoying isn't it. Should do what I did once! I once got sick of this bloke I used to work with coughing and sneezing at me across the desk, so when he got up for a pee, I walked over to his seat and put a few drops of that smelly 'Albas Oil' stuff on it .. He stunk for days after that and had no idea (So if you're reading, Sorry Alan .. ya ignorant gobshite!) lol.
