Let’s talk about people who have allergies shall we? Now at this time of year, it would be expected that one would blog about pollen allergies. Ah the utter hell of it all! Alas, I am not. I am referring to people who are highly allergic to household pets and STILL OWN THEM. My dear friend works with a gal who owns a couple of dogs and cats and sleeps with them every night. She is crazy allergic to these animals but yet does not feel that it is necessary to take any allergy medicine! So she comes to work every day hacking and sneezing. She blows her nose like a train whistle 572 times PER DAY. Because of this, and I kid you not, my dear friend has resorted to working from home 95% of the time, and literally goes into the office only when absolutely necessary. No way to concentrate!
I understand people have allergies. I have allergies. When I’m sneezing, coughing, etc. I take medicine! Perhaps at this point her allergies are just one of her “pets” that she can blame for poor productivity, and a bad attitude when she wants to, or a way to get attention? So does everyone agree that a person could be considered completely out of touch with their surroundings if they insist on sharing their allergy hell with all of us?
