to develop an obsesive compulsive disorder based in my onservations of the woman that sometimes uses my desk?

[MeMySonAndI]

Yeah I know, I'm a grumpy old woman but... there is this woman at work who can not stop sucking every single finger of her hands, I have counted more than 50 nnoisy sucking noises at eating a humble packet of crisps. Fordet about when she eats cake or any other more sticky stuff.

Anyways, I had to cover for her a few days ago and sit at her desk and use her computer... The keyboard and mouse were so sticky I felt the need to get a packet of desinfectant wipes to clean it a bit before laying my hands on it, it was full of jam and cheese crisps powder stuff. There was saliva on the screen and even the chair was covered in true white marks were she wipes her hands after cleaning them in her mouth.

From time to time she likes to use my computer and I can immediatly notice if she has done so (jam, crisps crumbles and other sticky stuff on my keyboard, mouse and desk). To make the things worse she is always down with one bug or another one so, the saliva spreading is getting on my nerves.

How do I go about telling I don't want her to use my computer without offending her (or she backfiring giving a good lick to my computer as a revenge?

Does she get any second dates
Or do you have to take the brunt of her dates climbing out the toilet window, aswell ?

Well, the manager was lovely, that was why she agreed for all of us to take into such stupid task. But after a few months time (yes months!!) even my understanding was wearing thin

Everytime she blunders on a date I end up sitting at her desk and computer because she can not possibly deal with the issue and signs herself off.

You could try covering your keyboard in cling film

PMSL! that would do! I may even get to be signed off to recover from my obsesive compulsive disorder.

Ask your twatty manager to install alcohol gel dispensers on everyone's desk so she can be seen to be pandering to your mental health requirements as well

No No No you have to turn your P.C on and off 15 times and sit down / stand up another 20 then wear rubber gloves to touch anything (different colour gloves for each thing ) and get very upset if wrong glove/thing touch and have to start all over again

kinda gross,
even though she is a bit emotionally unstable i cant abide lack of hygiene and dont blame you...i have short temper at this sort of thing it makes me wretch

maybe helpful manager can arrange clean up of all office equipment and deposit large amounts of wipes for all of the office to dip into....

and she could have word with her too..she is actually emotionally blackmailing you guys and she knows it too..imho..

there is some scary statistic somewhere about the amount of bacteria on an office handset - could you print some bumpf out about it and ask for a 'team meeting', requesting anti bac wipes to be used daily/ weekly/ whatever floats your boat?

Wisteria... please.... this is the NHS... we have alcohol gel dispensers. If it were not for them...

well i know that MMS&I but does anyone actually use them?

erm... I do

Actually, I'm getting a bit worried about my sanity, the other day I found myself wiping my hands with the gel, after she handed me a stapler

But I'm geting better, I can now manage to hear the slurping without the need to walk out of the room.

You're not a consultant then!! Sorry - sore point xx not personal

i thought it was some floaty new age ad agency with the the drawing pictures exercise thing in the morning!

they should have a word, your floaty manager type i mean

A consultant! imagine that! do you think I would have tolerated another consultant sucking her fingers and spreading saliva in such fashion???
