I was in my co-working space last week and the guy closest to me was coughing his lungs out, then as I packed up to leave, someone came into the elevator — after me — and blew their nose a couple times on the way down.
I’m not going to lose my mind over it. The simple solution is to let my team know I’ll be AFK, go home, and take a bit of time away from the space until the germs make their way through.
But there’s still something so surreal about living through a pandemic and people immediately returning to business as usual, going to work sick. And even more bizarre is that these are remote workers. They can stay home and no one would need to know any better.
Oh well. This is just what humans do. Who knows what kind of stupid stuff I get up to. I’m not smart enough to even tell you, but I assure you I do it.
