Sneezing has started!!

It's fall with a vengence and in the computer lab today, I heard sneezing, sniffing and coughing all around. And not a bottle of alcohol hand gel in sight. The thought of touching those keyboard keys now just makes me cringe. It would not be too much of an expense to put hand gel at each station, put up some home-made signs to USE it, and also posters on how to cover your cough. This would make the computer labs true computer labs, and not germ incubator labs. Really. I hate to say it, but at lil' ol' Hocking College, the computer lab in the nursing office had kleenex boxes and hand gel at each computer station, and bright lights and walls and it just felt cleaner. Why can't OU do this as well? Who do I talk to about this?? I feel sick already.


On the lab rat side of things, I got to install FileMaker Pro on a bunch of computers today, learned how to unlock and re-lock the computers and place an icon on the desktop. I feel quite smug now. I know something you don't know (you must sing this to a little annoying tune used by preschoolers everywhere). Really, though, it was interesting. And next week I'll hopefully learn to uninstall them – they were installed for certain class, and must be uninstalled as soon as the class is over.  Is uninstalled even a word or is it one of the new class of made up techy words??


A good day today. And no spiders! Whew.
