Scalpel…Sponge…Spork

My chugakko kids wear these scrubs every day while serving lunch. C’mon guys, its just food! I think that hairnets and gloves suffice for everyday food service. I guess that if I had to wear surgical scrubs while putting lunch trays on my friends desks every day, I might just become obsessive about sanitizing everything to the point of being paranoid in many unnecessary situations. No wonder my co-workers were so freaked out about SARS and would not yield to reason: they were conditioned since they were born to over-react in normal everyday situations. I must admit that it was fun coughing and sneezing when everyone asked “do you feel alright?” after I came back from Thai! Its good to give people a good scare once and a while- brushes the dust off of the ol’ fight or flight reaction.
