I've been fighting a cold and have been trying so <em>very</em> hard to be sanitary about it: little bottle of hand sanitizer, keeping my spaces clear of tissues, washing my hands before I go into the cafeteria or meetings...it's difficult and I know we all have things we do unconsciously but... ...today, I'm sitting at my desk and my nose starts to <em>itch</em> so badly it was distracting. It wasn't a cold symptom, it just itched. I start to scratch the tip of my nose and a person who knows about my cold walks past my desk, looking in my door, and sees me. They give me the raised eyebrow...as if to say "you aren't fooling me." Argh! I wasn't...but...yeah...shoot. It's all about the little things that we either let people see or people catch us doing, unaware. I guess I can take some consolation that I wasn't licking my hands at my desk...

I guess I can take some consolation that I wasn’t licking my hands at my desk…

I use paper towel on the door handle and throw it away in the hallway trash can. Then I sit at my desk and pick my nose for hours while returning e-mails, knowing that my fingers aren't tainted with my co-workers germs. It was great meeting you again the other day and shaking your hand. I'm pretty sure I wiped my finger on my pants first.

I said no, I like to lick them clean and then proceeded to lick them... Which all would have been much funnier if the CIO of my company was not walking out of a stall at that time, to be treated with the sight of me lapping my hands.
