A co-worker who just moved in next door has an adorable three year old who is too sick to go to daycare today. Rather than hire a babysitter, my co-worker brought the child into the office. As cute and quiet as the child is, it doesn't negate the fact that the kid is coughing in the hall, touching doorknob with snotty hands, and generally being a
plague bearer. No one else in the office seems to be bothered by this. They are giving the child cough drops, toys, and videos to watch while I'm clinging to my bottle of Purel like I was back in Yubeng Village eating lunch above a pig sty. Is it just me, or is bringing a sick child to work a blatant violation of common courtesy?I had better go. The kid is blowing me kisses and it's time for my hourly dose of Emergen-C.
