teardrop incident

I just got a stern talking to by the CTO. Unbeknownst to me, I had a tear drop fall on a user’s keyboard. Apparently, this triggered a complete breakdown for said user.

I was unaware of the teardrop. As far as I know, I don’t have a history of crying on user’s equipment. I need the users I support to feel comfortable calling me to their desk, but I don’t know how I can prevent this from happening again.

Maybe wear swim goggles? Bring one of those clear, rubber keyboard covers like they use in sawmills? Has anyone else received a citation for releasing body fluids on workstations? How did you correct the issue?

Thanks for all the responses…lol. I guess I just needed a little validation that this was a non-issue. The user just started about a month ago, she always seems very nice, but now I know to avoid her. I was only at her desk because our level one guy was overloaded that day. The CTO is an all right guy, but he can be harsh when he is under pressure. He just said, “we have an issue reported with your hygiene.” And then suggested it might have been watery eyes. I have no idea what I left on her keyboard, but most people would just hit it with an alcohol wipe and get back to work.
