Showed up to the office on one of my required days. Got settled in and was getting into my projects and to-do list.

At first it was just a few coughs somewhere out in cubicle land. Then a few wet sneezes. Then… THEE worst gargly congested cough I’ve heard in a long time. Years, maybe.

I decided to investigate. First thing I come across is a woman two cubes down and one across from me. She brought her pink fuzzy blankie and had it draped over her head. Her mug of hot tea was next to her box of tissues. She wasn’t even the source of the awful cough…. but I’d seen and heard all I needed to see.

Went back to my desk and (ironically) Teams messaged my boss to say the office is full of sick people and I didn’t bring a mask so I am leaving to go back home. He gives me the thumbs up.

Pack up, drive home. Scrub hands, rinse nose and wipe everything down.

Did we learn NOTHING from fucking Covid? NOTHING??! I assure you, absolutely no one wants your disease. No one thinks you’re being brave. They think you’re being an inconsiderate ass. Stay the HELL home when you’re sick.
