    BLAH! I was at work yesterday, already coming down with a headcold and
    I saw they had donuts in the breakroom so I nabbed one and started
    munching on it. Then someone says 'so and so picked through every last
    donut...' so I threw the rest of mine away since it had a big moosh
    mark (probably from someones FINGER) but I had already eaten most of
    it. Then later that same person that supposedly picked through them
    said 'im going home now to finish being sick' i said 'why, got a cold?'
    she says 'no i dont know what i have ive felt like crap and my stomachs
    been out of whack i feel sick all the time lately' im like GREAT. she
    knows im a germaphobe too and she just laughed (she doesnt understand,
    as most people dont.. they just brush it off..) so I of course was
    nervous. I told my boyfriend the story today and he carefully had to
    explain to me that its been a long time hes been with me and taken on
    my mindset, but that he knows many people DONT think like us and being
    sick is nothing at all to them, so they dont think of other people as
    much as he and I do. They dont cover their sneeze or wash their hands,
    they touch other peoples foods... its no wonder I have gotten three
    colds in the last 6 months working with all these people. I am SO
    nervous for christmas season when all the stupid people go visiting
    family and spreading their sickness to eachother. WHY are people
    so ignorant and inconsiderate!? Could anyone explain that to me?

    I was thinking today how sad it is that my enjoyment of the holidays is
    somewhat ruined because I always associate this time of year with
    getting stomach business, so when I think 'holdays/winter' i think
    sickness and i feel unhappy and apprehensive. I still feel a little
    thrill at the holiday but mostly just fear and sadness now. I wish
    someone could fix me and I wish everyone else wasnt so braindead and
    not care for others...

    I dislike the holidays for this very reason. You are definately not alone there. I don't know how I get thru it each year. [img]smileys/smilies_06.gif[/img]


    And that is very nasty with the feeling up all the donuts. What is with some people????[img]smileys/smilies_11.gif[/img]

    Yes.. i dislike the season for that too. People are just ignorant like that. One thing i hate is when my English teacher [and sometimes myscience teacher--would think he would know howgerms spread..]closes all the windows in the classroom, closes the door and puts the heat upreally high, while some kidis coughing in the class.

    Shame on both your teachers![img]smileys/smilies_07.gif[/img]



    Why don't they both put airtight tents in your classrooms and make you guys breathe the same air.



    They're freaks!

    I hear ya on the season thing!! Except for October is when I start getting scared and depressed. I hate winter for the "bug" reason. It just ruins it for me. It seems hardly anyone gets sick after spring?? I hate it too, so you are not alone. [img]smileys/smilies_12.gif[/img] Charlotte

    I hate it that people dont cover their mouths or wash there hands too! It is so gross. And I especially hate when people come to work or school sick, like they're trying to be the bero--when in actuality.....the are geting sicker and getting everyone else sick. It's just not fair!!
