oh what a beautiful morning . . .

so, wearing gloves is a big issue around here. there are areas that you HAVE to wear gloves and there are areas where you CANNOT wear gloves. the idea being - you touch potentially contaminated things with gloves. don't take that bacteria/virus/whatever junk the blood had that you were just working with and spread it over areas where people don't wear clothes. so, this tech from another lab walks through our lab (its all one big hallway) and goes out our door WEARING GLOVES. it got pointed out to dee (the motherly nurse) she just went and ripped him a new one. she handed him a bleach wipe and politely asked him to wipe down the door handle - and any other areas in our lab he might have touched - since it is TOTALLY wrong to touch them with gloves on. he was all "i used my sleeve blah blah blah" and she was just like no you didn't. and you never do - i've seen you touching everything with gloved hands - STOP IT.

ooooh yeah. and that is why courtney and gen lovingly sign all emails/notices "MLB" for mosmann lab bitches.
