WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

The lady next to me has been at an off-site meeting for the past three days and she comes in today and announcing that she's got it all - strep throat and the flu!

REALLY?

Why are you here breathing the same air as I have to?

You are not a hero.

My wife who is college student......yes she is an older student I am not a cradle robber. Julie always tells me about students who come to school sick because professors will drop your grades if you miss a class.

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

Send her home! Aren't you a boss?

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

In that case, they need to make sure they get real close to the professor!

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

Maybe she has no sick leave or vacation to take.

I'd seriously wear a surgical mask and use hand sanitizer.

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

*giggling at the thought of Renda slapping on a surgical mask*

She should start spraying Lysol EVERYWHERE!!!! Right in the woman's airspace. :D

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

She has plenty of time she could take off.

I'm just trying to stay in my own cube as much as I possibly can and touch nothing.

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

Lol! If I do, I'll take a picture.

I wish I had some Lysol and I would spray it. Maybe I need to get some at lunch.

This lady will just walk right in my cube and be next to my face before I know it. I've already told her she better stay away from me (in a nice way)!

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

My boss came to work sick one day and I sprayed Lysol. He was mad for an entire week because he couldn't stand the smell and it got in his lungs. UGH!

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

Oh, GOOD--maybe it killed something IN his lungs! :)

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

Ha! There are some better smelling kinds now. Well, maybe he'll think twice before coming in sick!

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

Exactly!

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

Well, have a little compassion. ;) Yes, I know that it's not kosher, but maybe she needs the money.

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

Trust ILG to be the sweet one. :heeheehee

Renda, maybe God wants you to lay hands on her and pray for healing. :D

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

I'm compassionate.

She's been at FedEx for 30 plus years - she has more vacation than she can take. She could be home.

She's a sweet lady.

It's hilarious - - she grunts and burps all the time. Well, now it's even worse because her grunts cause her to have to cough.

I need a shower - - forget that I need a hazmat suit!

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

I have an ozonator in my little office here which is only used as an air filter 99% of the time, but occasionally turn the ozone on when I want the smell of a gallon of bleach to chase everyone out. :)

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

Oh yeahhhh!!!!!

She's going home at 1:00 to get in bed.

She just got her at 11:30. Just enough time to spread the love!

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

LOL!!!!

Great job!

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

My brother in law works at FedEx and they live in Collierville.

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

Does she think you can't make it through the day without her? Or what?

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

Cool - - I've only been here a year and I used to live in Collierville. My son and his family still do.

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

Well, get out the clorox wipes as soon as she leaves!

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

She's in a different group than I am, but she pretty well is the rudder of this ship. I honestly don't have to worry too much about her because she's never at her desk.

She takes a smoke break every hour and then between then she's going around the whole floor doing "stuff" - not sure exactly what all that is.

If you want to know anything, she's the one to ask. And, don't dare say anything about needing something, she'll go get it and have it on your desk in minutes.

We moved here in Oct and one of my lights under my shelf didn't work, she went and got one out of another cube and replaced it while I was gone to lunch. LOL!

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

And the ozone generator!

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

I did pray a protection around me!

If I get sick, I don't have anyone to take care of me. :tissue

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

Good grief.

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

Well she sounds generally like a very nice person! :)

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

She is, but nice doesn't have anything to do with being sick! LOL!

She's gone now. I hope she gets some good rest and stays home tomorrow.

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

You won't hear about this on the 6:00 news, but thought I would share it with you anyway....

Try taking some Oil of Oregano, at least 1-2 drops once a day, perhaps more. It is the most effective flu and illness buster we've ever tried.

My son came home from school last week with sore throat, cough, headache and diarrhea... the whole nine yards. He was feeling miserable. We tried a dose of OoO - 2 drops in 1/8 cup juice. Within a couple of hours, he was out of bed and moving around.... no more diarrhea, and no more headache either. Went to school the next day, and has been fine since.

You can find it on Amazon.... my kids don't like the taste of it, but willingly take it now, because they have not been sick... while many of their friends have been out sick for days because of the flu.

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

Well, I hope you don't get sick and do just fine!

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

One of my daycare kids has been sick, sick, sick. His mom finally took him to the doctor. They tested him for the flu and said he does not have it. Said it's "just a virus". She asked about daycare and pre-school and was told by the doctor, "Well, it's just a virus" So she brought him to me!! I had him for less than an hour when he spiked a fever of 102.4. So I called and told her to come get him. I cannot have Walt exposed to all these things and I've told all of my families that. I know it's going to happen. Kids will get sick in the middle of the day and no one knew it was coming. I get that. But to COME HERE sick??? How inconsiderate!

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

Could I just eat some pizza with lots of sauce (and oregano)? LOL!

I've never heard of that, but it sounds like it worked for your son!

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

Yea, that's always a hard call. The doctor told my DIL that about Mattie and said she could go back to daycare - - I didn't think she really should.

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

The problem with our culture is that we are not supposed to need a few days off to recuperate every now and then.

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

I agree.

With all these changes in health care, I think they need to make sure employers allow sick time.

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

That would be nice. But instead it seems that they are mandating the flu shot. Then, you can either get fired if you don't get it or you can get blamed if you get sick because it's your own fault for not getting the shot. It looks like obamacare is going to force us all to believe and feel one way and if we don't, we won't get covered or we'll at least be castigated.

Go to the health food store and buy Occillococcinium and start taking it NOW.

Also buy Sambucol and follow directions. Sambucol is elderberry syrup. It is wonderful to help viral infections if taken early.

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

I just read about elderberry syrup! I love elderberry jelly.

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

Yep. Oregano oil, especially wild crafted oregano is one of the best anti-viral natural remedies for viruses.

Re: WHY Do People Come to Work SICK?????
 

That stuff is sickening sweet, but it is a powerful antiviral.
