Don’t Be A Germophobe!

Okay I know I know people are dropping dead by the hundreds of thousands because of the H1N1 virus and we all have to be careful… oh.. wait a second, are people dropping by the hundreds of thousands? Actually… I think it might be 8 or so that have died in Utah from the swine f lu… which, really, is less than a lot of other things such as car accidents, regular flu, slipping in the bathroom… etc.
I just have to say I am sick and tired of all the signs that are popping up around our office, one in every bathroom stall on every six floors of this building, that tell people to Wash Their Hands! What germophobe is putting all these up?
If I get sick, whatever. It’ll be some nice time off from work. I’m not going to worry about it. Which is odd, since I worry a lot. I worry about my weight and weight loss supplements but by gum I don’t worry about getting the freakin’ flu.
I’m trying to find some anti-Germophobe signs online that I can print out and put up next to, or in place of, the Obsessed-About-Hand-Washing signs that are already up. I haven’t found any yet… but I have found all the signs that are already up.
People, just be normal. We are all adults here and we know how to wash our hands and be careful. Once people do start dropping in the hundreds of thousands, then we can worry, okay?
How do you spell Germophobe anyway? I’ve seen it as Germaphobe as a spelling too. It’s also called Mysophobia for those wishing to use the more proper term.

I avoid anti bacterial products as much as possible. I believe killing all the germs isn’t healthy. I bring my own soap to work since the anti bacterial soap they provide is nasty and dries out my hands. I’ve stocked up on dietary supplements to prevent sickness from the inside out.
