Someone in our auditorium is wearing perfume SO STRONG that I can smell it clear as day whenever someone opens the door only for a moment, about 100 feet away.
How can someone be THAT clueless about how strong their scent is? I don't even know how it's possible to be that potent.
Also I don't know how everyone in the auditorium can possibly stand it.
The woman that was renting the AirB&B upstairs from my office last week stunk up the whole office when she would walk down the staircase OUTSIDE of the office. Like that is a good 30 feet from my desk and she isn't even coming inside the door. I just don't get that. I of course also have deadly allergies and all perfume bothers me but that shit was intense.
Yuck! I've never experienced an odor this strong in my many years on this planet. It's crazy! I'm worried the group using the room next will pass out, too.
I'm not even that sensitive to smells. I have a co-worker who gets migraines from them and she's probably going to leave early because of it.
Also, the transition to getting things done by telling people to do things instead of getting things done by doing them is more difficult than I was lead to believe.
I have one week left of my government job. I would be excited except in my new job I will be logging my work in 6-minute increments. Why do I do this to myself?
Because you’ll make lots more money, I imagine.
You know, per hour, I’m probably not. They’re certainly getting their money’s worth out of me.
At least I got to work on a medical marijuana issue this past week.
I don't really care about "fish" per se. Eat all the fish you want. Canned tuna fish salad is pretty disgusting, but this is America where people wear that disgust proudly. OTOH, 3 of my co-workers eat endless amounts of hard boiled eggs. One does it for protein, one is a diabetic and one is on some fat/protein diet that burns away fat. So every morning when I go to the refrigerator to get an ice cold red bull to start my day, it's like I'm in a fucking port-o-john with that disgusting refrigerator filled with boiled eggs. There are very few things that can make me wretch, but watching someone eat a hard boiled egg or egg salad will do it every time. I just find boiled, gelatinized ovum to be rather disgusting. OTOH again, I will eat fish roe on sushi.
My breakfast club's the worst. We take turns bringing breakfast on Fridays for each other and one dude that lives an hour away always brings a dozen cold donuts and a half dozen cold kolaches. We're right next door to a whataburger.

TIL: What a kolach is!
That's lame though, can you kick him out?
Kolaches can be good and bad. There's a place around here that does a "Jolly Peno" kolache that's full of cream cheese, bacon, and jalapenos. It's to die for. Almost every donut place here also sells kolaches, most of those are pretty bad. These are those.
But yeah, I wouldnt want to. He's generally a pretty nice dude (better talk smack about his breakfast choices online), his breakfast just sucks. Typically everyone else tries to find the newest, best breakfast places since we're all from different parts of town. It's just a drag when it's his breakfast day.

I'd be bothered by 100% sweets. I need some savory breakfast options! Sugar in the morning makes me cranky/tired.

Someone puked their guts out in our kitchen. Like, I know that guy had a way worse way than I did, but being stuck in close proximity someone who's puking is not the way I wanted to cap off my day either. And now I'm stuck here after hours working on a budget and the puker is long gone.
I have no earthly idea why he didn't even try to reach the bathroom or go outside, just hung out in there puking on and off for a solid 5 minutes. Students, man.

Why do some people feel the need to absolutely douse themselves in perfume/cologne?! My nostrils will be attacked for the next 3 hours (plus however long this shit lingers). Send help.

I wonder about that all the time. My allergies would be hating that person, which makes me hate them for you.

It's just icky for me, but my co-worker gets days long migraines from strong/sustained scents. Even when I wore perfume, I only put a tiny amount on!

I am very lucky that I don't get migraines from smells, I get them for various other reasons though. When I was in my teens/early 20s I tried perfumes and didn't understand why I always had itchy nose/sneezing while wearing it. I wasn't diagnosed with allergies and allergy induced asthma in 2008, in my 30s. I always knew I had allergies, just didn't know how bad they were until I got a dog and I almost died.
Even the smallest amounts of perfume/cologne sets off my allergies, so it is a good thing that I am attracted to soap smelling men that don't wear any cologne. LOL
I was forced to relocate last month. Instead of working 7 minutes from my home, I now have to work in downtown Minneapolis; 45 minute bus ride each way away. Plus my old office allowed casual dress but now at corporate, dress clothes. I hate my job regardless, so I’m basically looking for a new job now.
I also got relocated. But the upper floor window looking down the Mississippi River and the French Quarter and MS River Bridge is pretty bad ass. All these stupid fucking roofs are in my way - the ones without landscaping and pools anyway.

Are you in the CBD or in the Quarter? My desk has no view, I have to go into the kitchen to see the street (shotgun-ish style) but I am legit in the heart of the Quarter and 2 blocks from Jackson Square.
Corporate just sent out another company wide email (last one was in April and fired all the sales team members) letting us know that most local markets will no longer have editors anymore. So basically since our editor is on PTO we don't know if he even has a job anymore. I really need to crackdown and start looking for another job.
EDIT: Doug our editor is safe (or at least that is what we were informed). I sent out 6 resumes tonight and will do more tomorrow. Not for the first or second time, I feel like the boat is sinking since I have been working here. It's time to make like a rat and jump ship.

Just accepted a position at a new company starting in January. The nightmare job is soon coming to an end. I finally took the jump and am leaving the financial world. I’m excited to go to a small company in a new industry.

Are work potlucks ever good? I haven't experienced anything I actually want to eat or enjoy at a potluck in many years. I thought I got out of participating in mine this year, but my well meaning co-worker brought me a plate anyway. I just don't trust lay-people enough to not give me food borne illness between preparing food and then having it sit around for hours and hours. Now I need to find a discreet way to dump it in the trash.

People still do that shit? At work? Gross. Do not eat anything, pretend to eat when they are looking and trash that shit!

Normally our potluck has a lot of caterer prepared main dishes and then employee prepared side dishes. I normally participate by way of throwing a couple bucks in the community pot to help pay for the caterer foods, and that's all I eat.
The worst type of people are the ones that don't contribute anything and then go get themselves multiple plates. Like the guy that only brings crappy donuts for breakfast club does.

This is what we do as well. Our office has management each contribute for the catered entrees. For us, the sides depend on the dish. Some people know what they are about and others do not.

I am spoiled even though my job sucks. Lois, not-my-boss-anymore, takes the office out to some fancy NOLA restaurant. This year we are going to Longway Tavern, which won some award or something. But there is only 5 of us in the whole office.

Lol, my old supervisor use to do this when I worked at the remote office. Even working at the remote office we would get emails and pictures from the big potluck at the corporate office. I was working in Baton Rouge and getting these emails about the potluck going on in Houston.
All that to say, he'd pick out a nice seafood restaurant and take us there for lunch when corporate was doing their potluck. He'd even let us drink and let us go home early that day. Best supervisor ever.

We have an office wide potluck and then each section has their own gathering. The office is 80ish people while our section is 8. In years past, our manager took us to breakfast at Cracker Barrel because it was an easily agreed upon spot we could get in easily during the work day. We're doing a mini potluck in our office this year because our previous manager retired and our new manager is at the very bottom of the pay scale for the position.
