This quote so aptly describes me, it's scary. I would've wrote it if I would have thought of it. (Maybe I did think about writing it and just forgot...I don't remember!)

"I'm a psychic amnesiac. I know in advance what I'll forget."

Actually, I believe this quote has been ascribed to a Michael McShane person, of whom I know nothing. (Or maybe I did and just forgot - no telling!)


Oh yeah, I was going to post a bunch of other stuff, but I forgot. Don't be so boring. Use your imagination.

A Thought To Ruin Your Day

Here’s a comforting piece of safety information to start off your day!  I have lost somewhat of the love I had for my cubicle this morning… =-(

 

 

Put the following in order of number of germs per square inch, according to a study by the University of Arizona:

 

A.                 computer mouse

B.                  desk

C.                  keyboard

D.                 playground equipment

E.                  public transportation armrest

F.                  shopping cart

G.                 telephone

H.                  toilet handle

I.                     toilet seat

 

1.       playground equipment

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A study conducted by the University of Arizona revealed that the average American office cubicle is the most germ-infested area most people are likely to visit on a given day.

On average, 21,000 germs per square inch are just on your desk--400 times more than on the misperceived office toilet seat. Telephones have as many as 25,000 microbes per square inch, keyboards more than 3,000, and computer mice over 1,500. Toilet seats: about 50.

A toilet handle, however, can have as many as 80,000 bacteria per square inch!

A 4-year study conducted by the University of Arizona's Environmental Research Lab (sponsored by Clorox) found shopping carts to be like petri dishes, slobbered with mucus, urine, human saliva, fecal matter and blood from raw meat. New Jersey and Arkansas have pioneered laws to force supermarkets to offer shoppers free sanitary wipes.

Swabs from 36 shopping carts from four cities (San Francisco, Chicago, Tucson, and Tampa) showed them to be the third nastiest public item people frequently touch. Playground equipment and public transportation armrests were on the top of the list.

See, now why you should wash your hands regularly?
