V and other teachers --- I don't know how you do it. Can you have the kids sent home or is there a designated "sick room" at school where they can be "stored" until dismissal time? ;-)

Sickies coming into work (school) and sharing their bugs ticks me off to no end. The office in which I office is filled with people who don't believe in using their sick leave (trust me, we get plenty of sick leave and can actually "borrow" against our yearly allotment, if necessary). I'm not ashamed to admit that I spray Lysol---the doofus who sits closest to me seems to get a bad cold at least once a month. Keeping my immune system strong (drink Kefir every day, take extra C and some L-Lysine) and remembering NOT to touch my mouth, nose and eyes seems to help. I also have a bottle of hand sanitizer and a tub of Clorox wipes at my desk.
