you can't be too safe, can you?
i was buzzing around my mailroom domain when they were closing up the mailboxes (think of a hallway with 800 XL fedex boxes sticking out of either side) when i heard one of the mail-girls grumbling about how she didn't want to touch the boxes. curious, i looked a little closer at where she was grumbling to and immediately agreed: a temp working for pricing had cut the back of his hand, and while he was sliding in stacks of price labels, he had left 3-inch bloody skids in the boxes.

uhh, that's a problem.

my first thought was "uh, ew". my second thought was to go to see if anyone was missing a limb in pricing. and my third thought was towards the infinite levels of lawsuits that could possibly spring up, and there i was stuck. i wasn't sure what my next step was, other than to documentdocumentdocument. the guy who had cut himself was kind of a punk; obviously he hadn't noticed/cared about spreading his dna all over the place, but he wasn't too keen on remedying the situation with a bandage (for him), a glove (also for him), and some understanding that no one else was about to touch that, nor should they have to. we ended up replacing the boxes and dirtied memos inside... can you imagine receiving a fedex with blood IN it? like i said before, uh, ew.
