is it going around again??

Nothing annoys me more (ok there are other worse things that annoy me but right now it's this) than when people around me talk about the sv*. This girl I sit right next to at work asked the girl who i also sit right next to at work (I'm in the middle of them) what she had when she was sick last week. The one who was sick said a bad sv*.


Great, I really didn't need to know that/know how much weight you lost from v* all day! The other girl who asked her was like in a joking tone (which I did not find funny at all) "ah, now we're all gonna get sick! when one person is sick in this office, everyone gets sick!"


That put me in a bad mood and in a worried mood. I just had a big lunch and now all I can think about is that there is probably another sv* going around.


We have a big open office and now I'm just angry and concerned about that whole conversation. Not to mention I live with 6 other people so if they get sick chances are, I'll catch it.


Vent over.

is there a big chance that i could get sick even though i try to separate myself as far away from people as possible as well as wash my hands a lot?!

It's always going around. It's just more prevalent in the colder months. The end of March has been awful around here for noro. The VA dom was under quarantine because of a massive outbreak of staff and residents. Over 200 sick. and now a few weeks later I am reading all about it on facebook. Unfortunately it's always going around. I have gotten it during the summer before. But the good news, just because some people have it doesn't mean you're gonna catch it. If you're great with your hygiene there's nothing really to worry about. Keep your hands away from your face hehe.

I agree keep handwashing, wiping things down if you can and don't touch your face with your hands. Do they know your an Emet??
