    Back in the day when I worked in a dark sweaty office with no windows or natural light, there was a permie sat next to me who would always come in with bad colds (such is the work ethic in investment banking).

    Wouldn't be so bad if he put his hand over his mouth when he coughed, but no, he liked to splutter it into the air.

    To top it all, he always turned the air conditioning off. I think it was to help his germs multiply.

          I have no remote log in. I just email some work to myself and then do it at home.

            Some clients don't let you take data off site for security reasons.

              Yes, but those kind of clients don't hire someone like SY01.

                  Mrs MF told me MF04 had been off sick yesterday and then just an hour ago received a call to say all three were projective vomiting which is sad.

                  I on the other hand feel fine, have been basking in glorious sunshine all day and am off out to a restaurant. I feel for you all, I really do.

                    Drove past the barracks on my way home last night, wondered what your wife was doing at the bus stop. Hope she left your front door locked!

                      I wouldn't much care for that.
