Germs at work

[Seahorse]

I have 2 people at work, one is ill with goodness knows what the other has a stinking cold.
Both come I and us the phones which we all have to use.


I have some spray that kills MRSA etc and Ive been spraying it on the phones.

Is this extreme behavior or are my coleagues germs justifiably manky?

[caketopper]

That is pretty minging id be spraying the phones too!

[Pebbles]

Spray that kills MRSA? Sounds crazy!

Remember what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.... or something like that.

I also have to share a phone and hate it when he other person has a cold. However, I try to avoid using the phone and have all of my conversations via email..........

My boss actually sends people home when they are very sick, last year we had a cold go round the entire office (I didn't get that one) and everyone was off at one point or another, it was like a ghost town for weeks on end! So in order to reduce the chances of that happenning again, if you have something contagious you aren't allowed in!

(We mostly all have laptops though and there is always someone willing to drop a laptop off at your home and any files of your choosing :behindsofa: which is where you will find me if there is a colleague with files on my dorrstep)

Seahorse, if the cold is the one that has attacked my family and me you need to be sending your worker home! It's a horror of a cold and makes you feel rotten: achy limbs, headache, upset tum, sore throat. If he isn't fit to be at work and there's a danger of him passing those germs on he needs to be at home, keeping them to himself.
As for spraying, well, I'm not sure it's paranoid but I'm not sure it does any good either.

I work in the NHS and I can tell you you can never be too careful. I work on the ward and 4 patients have just been sent to isolation with MRSA so in this place everything and I mean everything gets sprayed it is better to be safe than sorry.

When I worked for someone else that was always a good reason to stay off ''Hi Boss, I'm not coming in today..got a cold and I don't want to give it to everyone"
Doesn't work so well now..that's the bad side of working for yourself..no sick pay!!:o
Anice xx :):)

Oh ain't that the truth, sometimes when I've felt really grotty I've thought to myself that I'd have rung in sick if I were still employed but nope you just have to plod on regardless........however it does help that you can do that plodding in your jim-jams and work on your laptop in bed if needed :mummy:

Nope Seahorse you are very sensible.

I'd spray in here but I'm the only one in hehehehe!!:D
