Please make sure you catch all the diseases, maybe you will be unable to log back on afterwards.Originally posted by Blakes03 View PostFFS – the coughing and splutter is bad enough but skin is peeling off this one next to me – he just put it in the bin without even leaving his keyboard. Another one has just been resuscitated by his colleague, again without leaving his keyboard.
If I manage to leave here today without a fecking disease I’ll be happy
