Oh yeah, if you sick stay at home. I don't want your germs. Thanks for the popcorn tip fellas. I have a new perspective on Pop Secret. It's like a passive agressive middle finger to everybody in this damn office. BWAHAHAHAHA!!! I am about to pop me some now.

Dude the whole coming to work sick thing is just so wrong. And the kicker is those same people will use their sick days when they're not even sick! Yeah I get the whole mental health day thing, I do the same thing once in a while, but dammit use some of those sick days when you are actually sick.

Back on the smells, another bad office smell is when someone has onions on a sandwich. Smells like goddamn BO. Or when someone heats up fish in the microwave. Makes me wanna puke.

Back when I was lifting heavy I ate a lot of tuna. Just popping open that can made the whole area smell like it. I had to start bringing in pre-cooked chicken and stuff.

With all the swine flu stuff going on last year, people were often sent home here at the slightest hint of having a cough or sniffle, etc.

Working from home is great. But I don't know that I could do 3-4 days a week. I work from home maybe 2-3 times per month. Often times it's if I have to go down to NY for a meeting I'll work in the morning from home and then head to NY or vice-versa.

There's a guy who sits a couple of desks away from me who has the nastiest cough. Whenever he coughs it sounds kind of like he's throwing up in his mouth a little. I can't describe it other than to just tell you it almost makes you want to do the same.

Then there's the other guy who spends all day singing

And then there's this picture hanging outside my office door that I have to see every morning

I wanted to put this one up but...conflict of interest it seems

btw, probably doesn't need to be mentioned, but Office Space is required viewing. there's a reason it's a classic.

No doubt, also The Office TV show. I swear we have our own versions of every character.
