Since our sale in January, there has been a bad something going around at work. It is actually just being passed between the managers in the department and me. I have already gotten sick once, but since then I have been doing pretty good about avoiding it. My dad suggested I try drinking a lot of hot tea, and some other of his homemade concoctions, he calls them his herbal treatments, I call them questionable. No matter what I eat before, at, or after work, I am not taking any chances. I keep Purel on every floor, register, and the workbench. I refuse to shake their hand anymore, no offense to them of course, but I have been really paranoid since the last time. When the illness was passed to me I missed four days of work and felt about the worst I had ever felt. I actually try covering up my mouth when one of them walks into the room. They take it as a joke for the most part, but there is always a chance that I do not want to take. Last time I was sick I could hardly pull myself out of bed. This time, I will avoid it like the plague (which it very well could be) and stay as healthy for as long as possible.
