Diary, How to lose your dignity at work

Still, having scabies makes you feel so ashamed. When I got diagnosed, I had to tell at work. I was standing in front of everyone (we were few, it was summer) and I said:

I have something to tell you, so, yeah, I've got scabies. Don't worry, the doctors say it's not that contagious, just avoid touching me or using my computer. Apart from that, it should be alright!

I was blushing of shame. One of my colleagues asked:

What's that, scabies?

I had to explain everything, the little mite that lives under the skin, that you get through skin contact but not through a handshake, rather through sexual intercouse, and stuff. The more details I was giving, the weirder they looked at me. I felt compelled to add:

The docteur assured me that it affects everybody, every population category, and that I shouldn't feel bad or anything because of it.

It doesn't change anything to the fact that I've definitely lost my dignity at work!

Tu es guéri? Si oui, tu devrais peut-être organisé un pot pour fêter ça (tu n'as pas un ou deux potes qui pourront discrètement lancer la conversation sur les poux, les morpions, ou même les vers, une fois que tout le monde aura un peu bu? On a tous des histoires sur le sujet.)

@Alice Je ne sais pas encore si je suis guéri. Quand je serai sûr, t'inquiète pas que je le ferai savoir!

Billet du jour d'Hervé Le Tellier : «Il y a des cas de gale chez les gendarmes de l’Elysée. Cette affection de la peau est propagée par un acarien microscopique, dont le nom est le sarcopte. Ça ne s’invente pas. »
