Passing it On

Two weeks ago one of the doctors I work with came in with a cold. A few days later another one got it. Last week I was the new recipient. As we all know, sick days are to be used for fun and not illness. As long as we can make our way to work, we will go in to avoid losing a day off. I went to work on Thursday and tried to keep away from people. Germs are airborne so it probably did not matter. Yesterday morning my receptionist came in sniffling. She said she got "my cold". I said it wasn't "my cold". It was Loren's, then Christine's, then mine. She got nasty and said, "No one should come to work sick and spread their germs to everyone!" I looked her in the eye and said, "But you're here today, aren't you?" She thought for a moment and slowly walked out of the room.
