We don't have fabulous hygienic air circulating in the office. Even though the air-ducts are cleaned out every 2 months, it's inevitable that with so many humans sharing close proximity, viruses never really leave the building.
For years, I've considered lugging in those standing air-sanitizers for the office. But I've never actually gotten around to doing it. Now, with so many people pregnant and falling ill, maybe I should finally do that. Also, I've been spoilt by the colleague who brought in her air-sanitizer. It's the simple type we see lying around- a green-top glass container.
Every other morning when I step into the office, the fresh scent of lemongrass and ginger hits the senses, eliciting a quiet 'Ah' from me, in a good way. The container is taken out of her cubicle and left in a public spot. All these months, she doesn't say a word about it, but quietly changes the water, tops up the anti-bacterial oils and whatnots, bringing a soothing measure of aroma to frazzling days.
I don't know about the real health benefits scientifically defined by air quality. But I do know her actions make my day feel alot better, and somehow, I don't fall sick much. It's the fact that this colleague, in her own way, cares about the department which warms my heart.
