Out of the Blue

I normally hate the two week gap between the end of the NFL playoffs and the Super Bowl, but it's that much worse when I have a rooting interest. I may need to investigate hibernation between now and then.

I love how people will use a paper towel to open the bathroom door, then sit back at their desk that has never been cleaned or dusted, and happily type away on their 3 year old keyboard that very likely has five different kinds of staph bacteria on it.

Some people's keyboards look like they're just covered in 2mm of grime.

Maybe once a month I do a cleaning of my Apple Keyboard (because it's cool yo) with those disinfecting Clorox wipes. As well as my mouse and the desk area.

And I definitely try not to let any visible crud appear. Even though I will eat lunch at my desk fairly often... and someone will stop by and interrupt me because they need something NOW! So I don't always have a chance to wash my hands between eating and typing. But I clean it after they leave



On a side note, if you see a guy eating lunch... maybe you can wait until he's done until you bother him for something.

99% of these "Now!" requests aren't anywhere near urgent... they can wait until flippin' tomorrow instead of RIGHT now. Yet they feel it's urgent enough to stop me on my company-mandated lunch hour and wait until I do something for them / gather some data for them / etc.
