At the risk of being labeled OCD, I admit to using the paper towel to open the bathroom door on the way out, simply because I know some folks don't wash up afterward. No other doors between there and my cube. And I wash up afterward if I have to work on other people's computers, particularly in cold and flu season. If we have to replace the phone, the handset remains with the workstation as long as it still works. We have anti-static wipes made by Chem-Ware Corporation that contain alcohol that we use to clean and disinfect keyboards, mouses, screens, phones, etc. If the keyboard or mouse is too nasty, it gets pitched. -Paul

I work with Monk, seriously, I do. This guy keeps hand sanitizer at his desk, uses it many times during the day. Goes to the restroom, washes his hands (apparently because I'm not there to know 100% for sure), then hangs on to the paper towels that he dried his hands on to open doors to get back to his desk, throws away the paper towels, and then uses his hand sanitizer....I could keep you all entertained for a while with stories about him..... We have an on call Blackberry that rotates through our group, when he gets it for his rotation, he sanitizes it with Clorox wipes I believe, or something like that, and then will sanitize it before it goes to the next person, which is usually me. I would not ever think about doing that unless I or the person that gave it to me had a cold while they had the phone.

I've used those on keyboards and mice, etc in the past (obviously with the PC turned off.) Do you think that would be OK on a phone? -----Original Message----- From: Kurt Buff [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, June 22, 2009 6:10 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Cell phone allocation and turnover?
