While working for the past 12 years in the municipal water/wastewater industry, I have ALWAYS taken my work shoes off before going in the house. I have a pair of slip-on shoes I wear just to go between the house and work shoes. In Automation, I don't get in the really nasty stuff as often as others do, still...it always made sense to me to NOT wear those shoes where my babies step. I could be bringing in any number of diseases, but CD has always been my greatest fear. Besides, when the phone yanks me out of bed at 2:30 a.m. in the dead of winter to fix some emergency, putting on those frozen work shoes is a great way to wake up Quickly! [Posted in FML 7833]
