5. Fire won't always work. A pal working at MCI years ago had to work at her
desk, despite the fact that there was a firemen (complete with dripping hose) standing on her desk, pouring water above the false ceiling where there was a fire going over her head. Her supervisor told her she could still get her hands on the keyboard around the fireman's ankles and the phone was still working so quit bitching!

They also had a tendency to lock the doors (with employees IN the building) in the event of bomb threat phone calls too.


CB, you best get yourself some zinc nose spray and a big bowl of fresh salsa ASAP. Zinc to the cooties in the sinuses and 'Mexican Penicillin' are the best way to deal with it!

something because I don't want to get sick too. I have an immune disorder and I will usually get sicker and stay sick longer than the sick person.

I feel for you but go the hell home and take care of yourself.

9. are you coughing? If its just nasal, take coricidin , suphedrin, etc.,
and stuff like that. I am an old pro at this...I am the queen of nasal allergies, allergy shots, bronchitis, respiratory problems,etc. It amazes what is over the counter these days...stuff you could only get by prescription a few years ago.

your wife; get the lysol and bleach (TEEHEE) iS SHE OKAY NOW?
