Tidbit Tuesday: Water cooler buttons can make you sick

How many people wash their hands before they use the water cooler? Probably not many. For that reason, water coolers can be a significant source of illness-causing germs. In fact, 25% of water cooler buttons are considered a serious risk for transmitting illnesses. That’s not much of a surprise if you think about the fact that most businesses probably don’t wipe down water cooler buttons except for when the janitor comes through.

Tidbit Thursday:

Janitor(female:Janitress)
Word History: In Latin iānus was the word for “archway, gateway, or covered passage” and also for the god of gates, doorways, and beginnings in general, known in English as Janus. Our month January—a month of beginnings—is named for the god. Latin iānitor, the source of our word janitor and ultimately also from iānus, meant “doorkeeper or gatekeeper.” Probably because iānitor was common in Latin records and documents, it was adopted into English. In an early quotation Saint Peter is called “the Janitor of heaven.” The term can still mean “doorkeeper,” but in Scots usage janitoralso referred to a minor school official. Apparently this position at times involved maintenance duties and doorkeeping, and the maintenance duties took over the more exalted tasks, giving us the position of janitor as we know it today.
