| | Last Thursday, January 22nd marked Astron Solutions 10th anniversary. We would like to thank everybody who visited all of us at the office to help us celebrate this wonderful occasion. And we just want to send out our sincerest thanks for making all of this possible! The continued support of Astron has been amazing, and we hope to be able to say this again in January of 2019 for the 20th Anniversary!
Also, keep an eye out for special 10th Anniversary events all throughout 2009! | Fact or Fiction?
| Fact or fiction: Men own the germiest places in the office.
Fiction (We were surprised too.)
Women's office spaces are three to four times germier than their male counterparts' office space. How is this possible? Well, women tend to have more stuff in general on and around their desk and workspace. More stuff translates to more potential places with germs.
There were over 100 surfaces tested for germs. Here are a few examples of which gender has it worse:
- Telephone: Women had more germs than men
- Mouse: Again, women more germs than the men
- Desk (the actual desk surface): Men more germs than the women
