squicky.

Maybe I should shower after work, instead of before...or maybe I should go wash my hands right now, like about a hundred times. With bleach.

Or maybe find a hazmat suit and some rubber gloves...

And maybe a sneeze guard for over my desk.

Eeeeeew.

I always say, "Sharing a computer is like sharing a toothbrush." Apparently, my aim is a bit off.

Or not. ISTR a Mythbusters episode in which Adam and Jamie tested toothbrushes racked next to a toilet.

Ah... damn, guess I won't be using ANY keyboards I'm not familiar with...

Not a bit surprised. I have occasion to spend a bit of time at Cleveland State, and based on my observations of habits and hygiene*, a significant percentage of the student body must have been raised by wolves.

*Allow me to state for the record that I ain't no Felix Unger, neither -- one of my favorite sayings is "Everybody's gotta eat a peck of dirt before they die." Not that kind of dirt, though. Sheesh.

Just imagine how bad it was before we had toilet paper and soap....

Wait. WHY are you pooping on your computer keyboard, Breda?

We are just marking our territory. What is the big deal?

I suppose the college could talk to the students about washing their hands after visiting the rest room.

Apparently the parents never mentioned it.

Want to borrow one of my biohazard suits? (But I warn you, they'd make Mary- Kate Olsen look fat).

That's it, I'm looking for a new job.

Sorry everybody, my bad.

I took a second look and realized it's a "SHIFT" key.

Won't happen again, but that pause/break button did make for some nice rest rings in the middle.

Well lucky I can run my older keyboards thru my dishwasher. The newer ones, break 'em the rest of the way, snag any good hardware, and if I'm in a 'go the extra mile' mood, send them to regrind.

You don't want to know what goes into my plastic stock 22lr kids rifles!
