Yesterday I was at the toilet at work. A coworker came in, did his business in one of the stalls and simply walked out. No washing hand or at the least pretend to do so, like some of my other co-worker. Yes, I can tell the difference. When you turn on and off the water faucet without leaving enough time in between to even get your hands wet, let alone to actually wash them, and maybe add some soap – it is pretty obvious. And, NO, wetting the tips of your fingers does not qualify as hygiene.

On a side note: Here is an instructional video on how to properly wash your hands, filmed by students from ITE College East:

Personally…

I have to work late today and the rest of the week, to make up time, after leaving early on Tuesday. I became ill, so did Amanda, yesterday. I spend the day and most of the evening between the bed and the bathroom. Whatever it was, it didn’t have very nice symptoms. Nausea, muscle pains and vomiting for Amanda, and sensitivity to light, muscle pains, diarrhea and to top it my skin hurt every time anything touched it.

I blame it on the Portillo’s food we had for dinner the night before. Amanda thinks that it’s either the food or the flu. Although, thinking about it, it could be also something from Alexandar’s daycare. He had similar symptoms on Saturday. He was fine…

Wow, I said “Good morning” to someone earlier and I could see that person actually contemplating about responding to me. Eventually, after I had already started walking away, probably 20 seconds later their response was “Yooo”. WTF!! What kind of a response was that, how is it even relevant to what I said, and most important of all, what took so long to even happen.

“Yoo”?!!? WTF is that. First of all – I have a name, and that person is well aware of it. Second, a similar response or something in the lines of “What’s happening” will be more in line of the “topic” of what should be a dialog, but a lot of times ends up being a monologue for many…
