DrAlexanderTobacco Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 I was patient zero in our office. 10 people off sick so far. I'm fully OK with this because work don't believe in sick days for infectious illnesses. Link to post Share on other sites
Tw1tch Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Unfortunately with a bunch of infections by the time you're symptomatic you've already been a carrier and vector for enough time to spread it. Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Which is why those diseases are still around. If you couldn't spread it until after you had symptoms, it wouldn't have taken long for people to figure out that you stay the hell away from the guy with the runny nose.

DrAlexanderTobacco Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Unfortunately with a bunch of infections by the time you're symptomatic you've already been a carrier and vector for enough time to spread it. Sure, but common colds become more infectious once you hit the sneezing/coughing phase of the illness. And I was sat next to my entire team sneezing away for a good 3 days or so before they caught it. It's true that you're infectious before becoming symptomatic, but it doesn't mean that's the only period. Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_West Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 The weather sucks. And it's going to suck well into the next week. Which means my 4-day bank holiday weekend is gonna be absolute *suitcase*. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Well, I had about three blizzards with random patches of blazing sun today. A most odd day for weather. Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Got you beat - we had a lightning hail storm here. The biggest hailstones I saw were approx 15mm across - there may have been larger ones, but I wasn't risking going outside in that... Go home weather, you're drunk. Link to post Share on other sites

Alias1983 Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 I'm working in the rain, oh well. As far as getting sick is concerned, I dont get sick anymore it seems. My brother had pneumonia, mom had bronchitis, I got none of it. I smoke a pack a day, I drink like a fish, and I haven't had my hayfever in years. And I work outside in everything.

amateurstuntman Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 I did tests today on 4 people. They were each as thick as a whale omelette. It reminded me of the conversation we had about people tekkin our jerbs. There were 4 and from bottom of intellectual ability to top they were: 45 year veteran of job sites, can't read and write, hands shake all the time, skin like old leather, took 33% longer than he was allowed and still failed. Nice lady from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, English is her second language, lived in the UK for 25 years, everyone she knew who stayed back home is dead. Nice Libyan guy, passed OK, seemed as chuffed as if he'd won the lottery. The best guy was a dude who was on the course as part of his probation. These are people who are struggling to pass a test that wouldn't tax a seven year old. At least they are working hard to get a qualification to get a job to keep off the dole.

paranoiddroid Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 I'm either not sleeping or passing out for thw whole day. I hate this I want my op but the hospital 'FORGOT' to add me to the waiting list so waiting 3 months was *fruitcage* pointless Link to post Share on other sites
Gunmane Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Apparently I did not realize how intense the sun was during the daytime I spent digging out the entire front flower bed of weeds as an early mother's day wish. Sunburned to hell and back. Link to post Share on other sites

Alias1983 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 I worked for a carnival for 10 years, I worked in everything and it sucked. I got this job because I didn't want to work in the rain but I want to be outside. Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_West Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 So, yesterday I got home, dropped like a sack of potatoes, woke up at 11PM to turn the computer off and put pajamas on. Then slept all night. And today, I started clicking through a fairly idiotic assignment at work. The worst part of it is still before me, and if I'm supposed to click through five hundred *fruitcage* entries and update them with one single number each, I will go cluckin' nuts. Also, I want that ACM copy M1887. But, guess what, the Polish government is too busy turning Polish Zloty into toilet paper! Link to post Share on other sites
Skarclaw Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 *Ubar* of a manager at work told me "should stop smoking" after I coughed at my desk. Probably true, but thing is, he's a big fat *fruitcage*. Don't lecture people on health if you can't see your own *rickroll* without a mirror! Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 To be fair, you should stop smoking. Every smoker should stop smoking. They all know that already, they don't need telling. If you choose to smoke, that's your choice, I don't mind at all unless you smoke where it affects me (or my badly asthmatic wife with lung disease and multiple health problems) - which I think is quite reasonable. If he says it again just say "you know what, you're right. Tell you what, you get your BMI into the green and I'll quit smoking" See what he says to that. Link to post Share on other sites
