Every year the Washington Post runs a neologism contest. Amongst this year’s winners was Coffee [noun] defined as “the person upon whom one coughs”.
That was me last week. I tried to avoid the carriers – not an easy task when their office is right next to your’s. I sprayed Lysol liberally, used lots and lots of hand sanitizer, ramped up the Vitamin C intake, and tried to stave it off, but I guess it was inevitable that this week I am the one doing the coughing, sneezing, sniffling. Like everyone else, I get annoyed when people come into the office sick – but what do you say when it is the boss? What do you say when you know that staying home means leave without pay? What do you say when you know the issue is that sick or not, the reports have to get out because other organizations are waiting for them to close their year end? Or someone is waiting to close on a loan? So you draw lines -- no fever, able to stay out of the bathroom, and off to work you go even though you would rather be curled up on the sofa binge-watching something senseless [my go to is American Model marathons] and napping. You know you probably won’t be very productive and that you will be spreading germs, but you are sitting at your desk and doing what you can.
At least the reconcilements are done and the reports are getting there….
