When you hear there's a cold going around the office and you know no one is safe:
When the person who sits next to you seems particularly sneezy:
When a co-worker you thought you trusted reveals they've had a fever all week but they "just had too much work to do":
When it suddenly seems like all social interaction is just an excuse for someone to get you sick:
When your boss sends a "Remember: If you're sick, USE A SICK DAY :)" email:
When you go hard on the hand sanitizer, just to be on the safe side:
When that sneezy employee is mysteriously absent the next day:
When anyone makes an unscheduled stop at your cube:
When you feel that first throat tickle and you know it's just a matter of time before it gets you:
When you hold in a cough during a meeting so no one will suspect you of anything:
When you raid the office supply cabinet for all of the Airborne on earth:
When you wake up one day and realize IT GOT YOU:
When you call your managers to let them know you're one of them:
When your manager's only reaction to your illness is "STAY HOME" and you feel like a quarantined leper:
And when you come back to the office days later, immune and unafraid:
