phew! i'm glad we got that out of the way

in an effort to avoid dealing/posting with/about my year of decline with a few bright spots (aka 2006), i wanted to share some really fantastic news with you all.

while i was away, my office has been transformed. transformed into a winter safety and health conscious wonderland. here are some of my great findings:

  • even though some of my co-workers have questionable bathroom habits and i've witnessed the lack of hand washing, posters are now at every bathroom entrance and in every stall suggesting that you cover your mouth when coughing and then promptly wash or sanitize your hands. A few comments: one, are we really only concerned about this now? two, are we adults, really unsure of what do do when we feel a cough coming on? three, if we are going to post this, maybe we could also post some step-by-step instructions on how to wipe one's own rear?
  • our building management has also posted some signs throughout the building on winter safety including the recommendation that we no longer park under trees (in case you didn't hear, the NW has had horrible rains in the past week and trees have fallen down cutting power and causing other issues). my main comment to that is: "gee, thanks for the suggestion. just one thing to note, we have trees throughout our entire parking lot and my guess is that there are one, maybe two parking spaces that are not near trees. everyday 98% of the spaces are filled with cars so i don't really have a lot of options to park 'away' from trees as you so kindly suggest."

I'm sure there are several other gems, but those are the top two. phew! i don't know what i would've done without the guidance - thanks all!
