Day 285: October 12: Mold central

While I was away on vacation, the pig-hair carpet at my desk (no kidding, the stuff really is made out of pig hair) decided to grow some mold. Lots and lots of it, between the plastic mat that my chair rolls around on, and the "carpet."
To  my boss's credit, the second I showed it to him, he sprung into action and by the time I was back from my lunch break, someone had cut my carpet out and bleached the area.
Today, however, I have been shunned to the back corner of the newsroom. How long do we think till they let me return?
