Hanging Around Like a Bad Smell

Had a bit of an unpleasant experience at work on Friday. There have been loads of renovations carried out on my building and the contractors were putting down new flooring using an adhesive that smelt like every horrible stinky smell in the world multiplied by 2,000,000. It was more than my dog nose could stand.

Incidentally women should be warned of the side-effect of dog nose as it truly is the most bizarre thing ever; it’s almost like having superhero powers!!

I’d barely got to my desk when I had to rush off to the loos to throw up knocking out half of the ladies in there to get to the cubicle. I took a deep breath and returned to the office and lasted about 25 seconds before I had to make the big dash again. Having returned my breakfast and feeling decidedly queezy I skulked around in the corridor trying to flag the attention of my team mates and it was eventually decided that I should go and help set up for some presentations in a different building away from the grim aroma.

I was able to faff around until almost noon but then my tasks had finished as the presentations were over and I was faced with taking junior back to the stinkbomb office. A member of the elf and safety team had been round and assured everyone that the smell wasn’t toxic harmful or posinous to man and beast and that we should all return to our desks. Deciding not to put Jussi Junior under any more discomfort I grabbed my coat and went home. The weekend starts early!!!!

You have to make the most of these situations as when they come along!
