Have you ever been in a bathroom stall, and seen a familiar pair of shoes next to you, and realized it's your boss? Ever waited for them to leave, and listened for the faucet? Ever heard it turn on and then off in less than a second, and then heard the quick rustle of paper towels, and the slam of the door in three more seconds? This was MY boss! Needless to say, I avoided anything I saw her touch! She never washed her hands properly! Yah, maybe it was in the name of 'productive time', but not when you're at risk of needlessly spreading filthy germs! Bleah!
One day, we had a potential client coming in, and the president of our company asked that we tidy up our workspaces so that he didn't think that we could make a good, lasting impression. Soooo, that's what we all did. However, I think my boss was either sick, or she had a personal matter to attend to, and could not be in the office during the visit, or the day before, so she asked me to tidy up her space for her. No problem, I thought....I really didn't mind......Until I saw the KEYBOARD....EEEEEEWWWWWW!!!! It was BROWN. So, trying to make the space presentable, I cleared away the eight half-drunk cups of old coffee, and tried to wipe away as much of the filth on the keyboard as I possibly could. When I was finished, it was mostly white. Unless I'd had a toothbrush or a ton of Qtips, there's no way to get between the keys....THIS, people, is why you WASH YOUR HANDS BEOFRE YOU LEAVE THE BATHROOM!!!!

Hahaha! Typo! I meant that the president wanted to us to make a lasting impression, not that he didn't think we could! I guess I was in the middle of another thought! Jeez, I gotta stop snacking on chocolate and triscuits...

my cube mate's keyboard has tons of crumbs between the keys and half the keys are sticky from god knows what. I had to go over there the other day and login for her and I about passed out having to touch the keys.

Did this client get to shake hands with Typhoid Mary? That would have been something to see. I'd keep hand sanitizer at my desk for just those moments. Yuck.

Jeez! from a guy that's bad enough, but from a woman it's even worse. I would have never touch her dookie keyboard.
