Reason #467 not to go to work
Some days I regret following links that I find interesting. A few days ago I found, via Slashdot, a BBC News article outlining just how disgusting office spaces truly are. If you didn't have enough reason already, I think this one should truly inspire fear and loathing in your heart when you get up to go to that ol' job of yours every morning. A snippet to pique your interest:
"The key offenders are telephones, which harbour up to 25,127 microbes per square inch, keyboards 3,295 and computer mice 1,676.
By contrast, the average toilet seat contains 49 microbes per square inch, the survey showed."
Woah.
I guess I should start eating my lunch off the surface of the office lavatory rather than my desktop.
