… is going around my office.

We used to sit in two double-sided “rows” of cubicles (i.e. two aisles each with cubes on either side). Then we decided to join the “open plan” bandwagon and tear down most of our walls. We couldn’t get rid of the central wall since it hold’s the power and ethertubes, so we ended up with two open “pits.”

One of the folks in my pit went to Brazil for thanksgiving, and returned with some horrible carnivale coldflu thing. Now I’m not BLAMING him … but ever since then ppl have been dropping like flies. Weirdly it seems to have jumped to the other pit and taken almost all of them out. Twice. So far our side has been untouched. Yesterday, however, someone on our side came down sick… hard and fast. Mildly icky during the day, then massive aches and fever by night.

She’s a newbie to the company, so “Welcome to interweb daycare, where we really just hang out between giving each other colds” and also boooo I hope it will pass soon and boooo I hope it will bypass everyone else and let us get through the crazy days before we go on holiday
