Define 'bad'.

Not using turn signals, racing up on you to pass and then slamming on the breaks in front of you. Driving WAAAAAAAAAAAY over the speed limit and then flipping you off for driving said posted limit - when I'm in the slow lane!!!! Not understanding how a 4 way stop sign works. Turn signals. Merge - for God's sake figure it out people! Oh and Yield, it's not just a pretty red sign on the side of the interstate..................did I mention turn signals?????

Then by your standards I'm a good driver. Its my DH you can't stand

I just want to go my 9 miles over the limit and coast when I get to a stop sign (I look first, no worries).
And on the really curvy roads I like to pretend they're straight (if I'm not sharing the road).

Exactly! I usually just go over the backs of the headless drivers (you know, the blue hairs).

So I have one more letter to go on this stupid quilt. I was working on it while my Accouting/IT dude was trying to help me with a crashed report and was cussing at the needle and my bloodied fingers. Acct/IT dude is a VERY nice, FAIRLY worldly Mormon friend: a man's man--hunts big game in Africa...you get the idea. He usually laughs at my cussing, but today he turns around, gives me a stern look, and says, "You really should be using a thimble when pushing through fabric that thick. Thats what I do when repairing the kids' pants."

Apparently he does all the sewing for his 5 kids and wife? Maybe I will quilt him a rifle cozy.

I have to run errands (buy a mini-broom with which to clean my darling's coop) and then appear fresh & sweet at my next job. Wish me luck.

I had a hard time keeping up with the thread today! Always a page behind all you yappers! I want more. See you soon!

So, after the whole MRSA thing on Monday, I emailed the Director and my Supervisor asking if there can be something put in place like we did during H1N1 season (there were signs on all the doors that if you have H1N1 you need to go home now and use the phone, do not come in the building) because the whole town freaking has MRSA... all I got back was a fwd: with a public health brochure on proper hand washing. Are you kidding!? I even mentioned my concern that it could be on my clothes and I could infect my young children, and they had nothing to say. Today another person came in with MRSA, they are once again bleaching down the office, the bathroom, the elevator, the stairs, the doorknobs, but really, how many times do we have to do this dance before either one of the employees gets it or they put up the dang signs to keep them OUT until they are better?!? I know I know, not everyone has a phone, and those can be exceptions that are handled with care, like we did during H1N1 season, but believe me, more of our clients have a $200 a month cell phone that you'd think.

Yes please, at the moment I am so ticked at the management for their lack of concern over something so highly contagious I could spit nails...or whiz in their cheerios... So much for human services...

Ok-

You can't really control what other people do but:

Prevention:
-Get hand sanitizer, put 2 or 3 at your desk, 1 in your purse, 1 in your car.
-Put hand sanitizer ALL over the office. By the sinks, the fountains, the coffee maker, the front desk, etc. This may help prevent the spread.
-Bring your own food and drinks to work.
-Get lysol wipes and disinfect your work station everyday. Keyboard, mouse, phone, cell phones first.
-Get RID of all anti-boitic hand soaps. They don't help, but the bacteria can develop a resistance to them. Also the antibiotic soaps eff up your water treatment plants.
-DO NOT let your kids use the hand sanitizer.
-Wash your hair everyday. I didn't, but once I HAD MRSA, this was necessary.
-Wear your hair up. Don't touch your face.
-Wear your clothes once, run everything through the sanitzer cycle of the wash. Bras and jeans too.
-Do laundry as soon as you have a full load.
-Cut you & your kids' nails supershort.
-Keep everyone's fingers out of their noses. The MRSA bacterias are carried in the sinus cavity, and even those "treated" will have live cultures in their nose.
-Wash hands. All the way up past elbows. Kids too.
-Throw away your makeup. All of it. Don't wear any if you can get away with it.
-Dont pick at zits or owies. No exceptions.

If you get DIAGNOSED with MRSA, I have some more specific instructions, based on whether it is community or hospital MRSA.

Thanks Laree. Right now they have lotion soap in all the bathrooms here so thats good, right?
I just ran out of hand sanitizer at my desk yesterday, I've been going crazy with it, but we keep it in the car and truck because we are at other farms so often.
I touched my face, now I'm freaking out, but I havent touched any of the doors today, I've managed to alway get behind someone else who's opening the door...
I've been throwing everything I own in the laundry the last 3 days... freaking out.
THe girls at work think I'm overreacting, I'm threatening to come to work in a hazmat suit to make my point to mgmt...

Touching your face is not a big deal...until you have it. I got it on my face, and....well that hurts way more. Lets not worry about it since you DONT have MRSA yet. You will know if you have it.

Women are MOST likely to get Community-MRSA on the fatty parts of their bodies...like under their belt line, in their butt crack, on the outside of a hip. Someplace you may regularly get a cut, lesion, zit, etc. and then absent-mindedly scratch at it. It is painful, and the bacteria digests the fat much faster. Like a free mini-liposuction.

The big thing is NOT to pick at yourself. It is unlikely you will give it to your kids unless YOU are carrying it. And really, you would need to have a weeping, uncovered sore--or have it under your nails or up your nose.
