Cold Of The Year Not had a cold for nearly 2 years, then some selfish moronic retard decides he would 'work through his' sittng next to me. His justificatoin - I might as well get paid for being ill at work instead of being ill at home. His going to cost me at least two days pay. I'm still doing 'design' work for them, so they might see fit to pay me. I ranted about this the last time somebody who I worked with decided to cough snot and plegm everywhere opposite me. Some people.

What you need is one of these: http://www.approvedgasmasks.com/evolution-5000.htm[^] And i havn't had a proper cold in, well... i can't remember. Worst i had was a runny nose and a scratchy throat, that was while ever'body else had some kind of severe cold, complete with headaches, feeling sick, chesty coughs. Although, the first time i went to France for a weekend, i caught some nasty bug, dizzyness, stomache pains, feeling like i would throw up at any moment. And to top it off, my GBA +9 games, mysteriously vanished! The theory goes that the theiving cleaner took it, the thing is, they would have had to rummage through my underwear to get to it, since it was in my bag. Stupid France.
My current favourite word is: Nipple!

I know the feeling well. I too once knew of a guy who proudly boasted that he had never taken a day off sick in his life. It was just that everybody else in the place caught his colds and they had to stay off work instead. My father's cousin had a good remedy for people like that: if he caught someone in work who was not well, he sent them home. It's a pity more managers are not so enlightened.

I've got a cold too, and I suspect I've got it at work. I don't feel extremely bad, anyway. I'm doing some stuff here and there, listening to music, programming... almost a vacation.

It's half term here so I've got the kids at home as well. A vacation may be pushing it a bit, but better than a 2 hour commute each way anyway.

Ah man, that sucks. Keep warm, tons of chicken soup and down as much OJ as you can, that stuff will do wonders for any cold. Get well soon mate :)

Yeah, love OJ, and the wife is pushing so many vitamins down my throat I feel like a pharmacy. I think she just wants me well and out the door 'earning' again!

Our company just recently brought in a policy so that even if you have the slightest sniffle you have to wear these 5c surgical masks. Annoying as hell, but they sure encourage you not to work through your cold. Hope you feel better soon

Did you talk to your manager and/or HR dept about this? They should have a policy in place for this stuff. He's not just coding you time, but the company money.

A zinc lozenge every three hours will reduce the severity and duration of the cold. Only zinc lozenges made with zinc gluconate or zince acetate are effective. Avoid citrus drinks within an hour of taking a zinc lozenge.

Stay at work. When you sneeze/cough, make sure you point it in his direction. Picking up his phone and/or driving his mouse are added bonuses.

I might just do that - I blamed him tongue in cheek, but actually that guy may have cost me two days work, which, like you said, not only affects me, but the project as a whole. That, coupled with the fact I really don't like him, means I might just knock on HRs door when I get back.

Nothing more offensive than a child coughing right into my face. Never considering to turn his head or cover his mouth. Probably the biggest insult someone can render.

AFAIK people are most contagious before they exhibit any symptoms, that's the genius of the cold and flu virus. By the time they come into work with a runny nose and coughing they are no longer contagious.
