Due to the Novel Flu Virus (newly named for political correctness for pigs), my workplace is giving us free of charge, hand santizer on Monday for our personal use!
We can't get pens, but we are getting Hand sanitizer - yea for us!
@Linkat,
The current joke at The Widget Factory is about a contracts weasel who
used a hand sanitizer and suddenly disappeared.
@George,
So.....
I suppose now we can expect an extra boost of sanitizer resistant microbes.
@Linkat,
Cool. Now you can sanitize your hands each time you borrow the one remaining functional ball point pen.
Their lawyers probably told them to do that to absolve them from any liability should someone in the office get the flu, come to work sick and spread it to others.
@Butrflynet,
There is a corporate fiat that those returning from Mexico must work at home
for seven days before entering the plant.
In San Diego, we have 2 city schools closed for solid 2 weeks due to one outbreak
each. My daughter is hoping that her school will be closed too....*sigh*

As would any decent red-blooded kid!!!
@dlowan,
Hand sanitizers make good charcoal lighter fluid, you can pour a big glob of the alcohol based ones into the center of your pile of charcoal and it lights quickly without any of the disagreeable kerosene odor
You're up early, Bubba . . .
@Setanta,
yeh, fuckin lambs need bottles and the wife took off for a Sheep SHow in Maryland. Im running the farm.
If I knew what I know now about this outfit, Ida never joined up.
@farmerman,
ABER--I have all the free hand sanitizer I need from Jeffers Vet SUpply. They give this **** out for free to good customers.
AND I got this neat ballcap to boot!
@farmerman,
I joined the Army. That cured me of bein' a "joiner" for life.
@Setanta,
What, you were never on a bowling team out there in the heartland?
@farmerman,
I bowl about as well as you type . . .
@Setanta,
yeh but I can Park in the Handicapped spot.
Well I came into work this morning and there it was my bottle of free hand sanitizer. The odd thing was it was filled to the top - others had theirs and all of those were filled to the top.
The bottle says meets CDC Handwashing recommendations. and fresh scent so I had to use it and see (rather smell) the fresh scent myself - it smells like crap or like alcohol. I looked at the ingredients and the only active ingredient is ethyl alcohol at 66.5%. I figure good so as the days progesses and it gets bad here at least I have some alcohol for relief.
It does say it is flammable too so there is also potential there as well.
In our school we have hand sanitizer dispensers in the dining hall AND in the ICT lab.
@Linkat,
It's the Victoria Day long weekend here. On Friday, we had pizza and cheesecake supplied by management.
I give a guy who works in the same building a ride to and from work. As we were leaving on Friday I asked what they got for the long weekend. Hand sanitizer. Ahh, perfect way to celebrate a birthday.
