The Office

This has been a tough week for the blog, what with starting a new job and all, but for those of you who also work in offices, allow me to make a couple of useful, health-related suggestions before we close out the workweek.

First, it’s flu season. To make sure you stay germ-free in your crowded office environment, check out this video on how to cough on Coughsafe.com. Share it with your co-workers. Perhaps you could call a meeting especially for that purpose. If you wear a lot of tank tops, it’ll take some additional practice, but hang in there: you’ll get it.

Next up, if riding your bike to work isn’t an option or you just feel like you’re not getting anywhere on the job, why not get a bike you can ride at work to make it feel like you are? I’m sure it won’t be disruptive for anyone who sits near you, and it doesn’t look at all distracting.
