Not even working for Lysol can defend you from subway germs

So here's the deal with my internship:
I work for a public relations agency called Porter Novelli. It's a very reputable firm in the world of PR. I work on a few accounts, including Mucinex, Lysol and Walmart. I also get to dabble on the HP and Gillette accounts as well. That means I'm supposedly a healthy, germ-free, smooth legged techy...Too bad work life doesn't spill over to my real life.

PN was recently named one of the top 5 PR firms to work for, and every day I see why. Everyone is so nice, helpful, and I feel completely assimilated into the work environment even though I've only been there 2 weeks. I'm gaining so much experience that I've only read about in the my textbooks and studied in class.

A few things to note about my everyday worklife:
-I get lost navigating the office daily. My brother-in-law Patrick recently visited and I only took him to the places I knew how to get to: my kewlbicle (as I call it) and the Starbucks machine.
-My commute is only 20 minutes on a perfect day. On a not-so-perfect day (2-3 times a week) I exit the tunnel at the wrong street and end up in Fantasy Land when I want to be in Tomorrow Land. Sometimes I refer to the subway system/New York as Disney world. You can literally be in a whole other area by just getting on a little train. It's so cool.
-I work 9-6. New Yorkers are always trying to one-up the rest of the working world with that extra hour. Trust me. I always need it.

In conclusion to this work talk, I'd like to say that I'm starting to get sick. I've never been surrounded by more disinfectant products (sprays, wipes, foams) in my entire life and yet I managed to catch an illness. It's probably that "over cleaning" hygiene hypothesis thing that's finally got to me. Either that or the fact that I'm forced to nearly grind with my neighbor on the subway every morning.

I take the F train. It's slow, packed and unreliable. F stands for the obvious.
