Office Aromas

I work in a cubicle environment. The 5ft tall, cornflower blue fabric walls remind me of a state agency I used to work at. I have a secondhand, half assed comfy chair, with a stain that I choose not to run tests on. After all, I do have to sit here. There are 4 of us per row and connected to my row is another 4. We are all pretty tight.

You can imagine that everything said is heard, and everything heard is repeated. Likewise, everything eaten is shared, and everything smelt is commented on.

That brings me to today.

Some fool Some where sprayed Some thing.

I am not sure who to blame this on, but I definitely need to gossip about this. I HAVE to. It is what we do. I mean really, there is one chic over here that just got engaged and carries around Modern Bride. Perhaps she was going through the latest issue and thought Eau de Crap would be in style next year on her DAY!

There is a ding back girly girl adjacent to me that reeks VS lotion or body oil. I didn't use to hate VS. Maybe she felt the need to spray something. After all, she doesn't have near enough bottles of poison on her desk.

Then there is this section of all females by me. Well, there is one guy, but who is he kidding. It could have come from there. They are all young and hip. I can see them spraying something. I remember a time they had to spray stuff just to cover up someone else’s stench. Ya, you heard me Cole! Ring any bells! LOL!

In the end, I am relieved it is perfume I smell. Mark just reminded it has been worse.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I gotcha cole! hehe! Mark is right, it could be much much worse...some time when you have nothing better to do, stick around for when the cleaning people come to the office. OMG i have NO IDEA what that lady wears, but she must go through an entire bottle of it at one time. To clean. ???? IT STINKS!!!!!!!!!!!!! but then again, it's better than a Colley belch or fart! :-/ Thanks for the laugh! Love you! ~the other Cole ;-)

Oh hell no! I do dread a late night at the office. That woman smells like a sour whore house. She should just use Pinesol. Amen, sista, on the Coley crust. ~ Other Cole.
