    On the train last night some guy kept sneezing next to me without covering his mouth and now I’m sick.

    I went to the office and let my manager know and she said to go home. Which was really nice.

    Teams meetings all day tomorrow anyway, just didn’t want to be away from work. The difference between sectors is dramatic.

      I got up and walked away from someone on the ferry who kept coughing wetly. I can only hope she was recovering from something, but I was not taking the risk.

        I’m still piiiiiiiiised about when my expensive trip to Mildura was ruined by some lady who was coughing all weekend. I think I ended up with a combination of food poisoning and the cold while stranded hundreds of KMs from home in almost the middle of nowhere.

        sick

        Throwing up into a rubbish bag on a bus is not good. Fucking horrendous experience.

      Fkn ferals! Crawling all over the trains and trams, coughing and snuffling, wiping their faces with their hands and smearing it everywhere like angry monkeys throwing their shit.

      Why don’t the Geneva Conventions on Biological Warfare extend to the common disease-ridden citizen?

      Don’t even get me started on buses.

      I still see far too much of this in public, and it makes me mad, especially as someone who hasn’t been able to work for the past week from covid. Some people either learnt nothing from the last few years or simply don’t give a damn and it shows.
