Post a Comment On: A Nod to Nothing

I was off work for three days with some sort of illness.  Longer if you consider I had a sore throat starting Friday afternoon when I was working from home and really only came back to the office today.  Plenty of working from home during that time, even extra, but at least Monday I could barely see the computer at some points my sinuses, eyes, and lungs were leaking so much.

Today that gave me some pause while I was thinking about being contagious.  I'm fairly certain I'm fine given usual contagion rules, and it's not a baddy, because I haven't gone anywhere.  But I thought about what I might touch that could transmit germs.  My first meeting of the morning was standup.  I touched:

the outside door handle to the room. the inside door handle to the room the light switch the cord to the computer from the t.v. the dongle to the computer from the t.v. the tv remote the phone and almost every single number on the keypad my pen a notepad my computer my mouse a white board marker a white board rag a bottle of white board cleaner the hand sanitizer No wonder the world is generally doomed when there's a risk of pandemic.
