    I've been at my desk for about a 1/2 hour with my co-worker T. comes in. The first thing she says? "Leckey! I think I have a tick on my head! Can you get it off?" Yep, it was a tick. Good thing T. carries around a pair of tweezers. I broke into the 1st aid kit and people started freaking out that I was wearing blue nitrile gloves--like I'm doing surgery. Maybe they shouldn't keep the first aid kit next to the coffee machine. I have a feeling it's going to be a long week.

    Yeah, I need to update this. Darn Judge Judy reruns! http://CraptasticNation.blogspot.com/[^]

      The correct response is... "That is a medical matter and I am unqualified to act as a medical practitioner, I suggest you seek immediate medical advice" And that a) stops you having to pick through her dirty nit infested head, and b) stops you from being liable to medical malfeasance lawsuits. :)

          I thought afterwards I probably should have sent her to a designated 1st responder, but I have basic medical training (including handling bloodborne pathogens) so I really didn't think twice about it--other than, "Wow. What a way to start a Monday."

                              I think the tick was also having a "case of the Mondays" so getting removed from a blood source and being crushed to oblivion may have been a relief.

                                    Nahhh. The correct responce is "OMG that thing is huge!!!! By the size of it, it looks like you are attached to the tick!! You should really get that thing removed. Anyways I have work to do so skiddadle."

                                    ASCII stupid question, get a stupid ANSI

Can you get it off?" Yep, it was a tick. Good thing T. carries around a pair of tweezers. I broke into the 1st aid kit and people started freaking out that I was wearing blue nitrile gloves--like I'm doing surgery. Maybe they shouldn't keep the first aid kit next to the coffee machine.

                                      Eeewwwww!! X| I will never in any circumstances touch the hair ( and accompanying ticks) of my colleagues.

                                      Watched code never compiles.

                                        I use that when I want me and Michelle (my wife) to leave somewhere, we will often say to one another "Shall we apply The Skedaddle Technique?".

                                          The correct response is... "That is a medical matter and I am unqualified to act as a medical practitioner, I suggest you seek immediate medical advice" And that a) stops you having to pick through her dirty nit infested head, and b) stops you from being liable to medical malfeasance lawsuits. :)

                                          it's exactly why people hate lawyers!

                                          A train station is where the train stops. A bus station is where the bus stops. On my desk, I have a work station.... _________________________________________________________ My programs never have bugs, they just develop random features.
