D.O.P.-T.

[weofodthignen]

The housemate has had some sort of lurgy and had to beg off a couple of evening activities to collapse on her bed. Last night the janitor was sneezing almost continuously and finally left work two hours early. Then in came a customer with a woollen muffler tied around his mouth - I thought for an instant he intended to rob us - and he kept asking indecipherable questions so that I had to ask him to repeat them, whereupon he would uncover his mouth and cough at me; he also coughed all over the merchandise, the bathroom, and half a dozen booths. I did my best to sanitize the place, including using alcohol-impregnated wipes liberally on doorknobs, but I fear it's more a question of whose dread disease I catch than whether I will.
