Funny thing is, I expected that to happen when I started teaching, but I went through last year without so much as a sniffle. (And, ironically, I picked up this bug while away from school.) Come to think of it, working in a retail photo lab ought to have exposed me to a large portion of the great unwashed and their germs. Nada. And my S.O. works in a children's hospital and rarely even gets a cold -- though she doesn't come into direct contact with any kids suffering from anything as trivial as a cold you'd think those airborne viruses would get spread pretty thoroughly. OTOH: We have a friend who's a general pediatrician in private practice and she gets sick all the time. You can't get that close to sick kids that often and get away with it :) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
