I have not used a sick day at work for myself (we're allowed "family sick" to care for loved-ones) since 2002 - and that was for a wisdom tooth, so I think my practices are sound.<br /><br />I was more concerned with the paint-part of the story. On Sunday we were in the hardware store and Mrs sent me off with a Heritage Red paint swatch and orders to get one quart of high-gloss exterior latex from the large paint section of the store. They only carry semi-gloss because there is not much demand for high-gloss. What?! But I am here NOW for it. No dice.<br /><br />Enjoy your blogging break. :)Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04469229581743468376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-10084707262160758552011-04-18T17:14:14.434-05:002011-04-18T17:14:14.434-05:00LOL Sorry Patti honey but I being in the same boat...LOL Sorry Patti honey but I being in the same boat as you as my sole caretaker I would have run over him getting to the door. hahaha<br />Like you it is hard to be sick living alone. <br />I too go to great lengths not to offend someone but as we both know Ms Pearl has a mind of her own now and I would probably have to run so she would not blast the guy for waiting on customers sick.

A very sick cashier touched every food item we bought. When we left the store, we both felt it was outrageous that such a sick person was working and touching our food. So, we went back in with all of our groceries and asked if we could replace all of it with new stuff and a new cashier. They thought we were crazy, but they complied.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-1441131768223562792011-04-17T08:54:54.354-05:002011-04-17T08:54:54.354-05:00Hi Patti, I would have done what you did...

BUT....even if that were not the case, I would have high-tailed it away from him the second I heard the very first cough! Like you, Patti, I am my own caregiver and it is HELL, as you know, when we get sick--especially if it is serious. <br /><br />I think we all need to be more aware and considerate---like the Japanese....And in truth, that man should have not been working and exposing whatever he has to the public, fever or not. Things can be contagious without the person having a fever...!<br />Also....lots of people wear gloves now, too...And masks and gloves should be required "wearing" in certain jobs---anyone working with food, for instance.

It's the price we pay to live in society. Had it not been for his coughing, a germ left behind at the cash register from the previous customer who wiped his nose and then the counter, could have brought you down. You just never know.
