Note to self: use latex gloves

This afternoon I had a surreal experience in my classroom(this one's for you My Capacity). I realized that my job is not like other people's. I think, because I have always been in school, literally, I forget what a REAL work environment is like. This is what brought it on:

whiny female student (rolling hair around finger) : "Ms. Kloumr...."
"yes?" (distracted, trying to talk to 8 other students at the same time.)
Becky: "Joe and I are a little worried about the grade that we will get on our battle story project."
"Why is that?" (still not totally tuned in...)
Becky: "Well, we didn't remember to do all of the information bullets on the data sheet... and (more hair rolling) ...and well, also, James just got blood all over it."
"hmmm..." (silence, funny look on my face, but now focused on Becky )"Well, at least it will look authentic" (and me thinking, 'and I now I know to wear latex gloves while grading American History projects')
Becky:"Yeah, just wanted to tell you." (flicks hair off face)
"Thanks" ('for reminding me why I am grossed when I let you guys use my writing utensils')

Would I have conversations about people's bodily fluids being on a document I needed to process at any other job? For some reason, I suspect no.
