Inconsiderate Vessels of Infection

"When I had strep last year..." says the 20 something year old office worker (between productive coughs) who is sick all year round from season to season, and she is talking to the chick who sneezes every morning at 11:18 AM.  It is once again time to incubate from all these sickly beings, as they were all seemingly raised in a barn without empathy or regard for their fellow man.  This office does not foster an atmosphere of martyrdom, but individual middle managers are notorious for creating their own subculture of shame that stigmatizes the use of sick days amongst their proletariate worker bees and desk jockeys.
