no. she did NOT go check it for me. it seemed like a perfectly reasonable thing for me to ask. i was recovering from a very, very nasty virus. my head was filled with snot. yet...as i walked down the hall past the window in front of all the computer servers... you know, the monsanto ride hall, the odor managed to pierce through my wall of fog and snot. and it smelled ...like a damned fart! who would come to work and fart all over the hall? it couldn't have been from a person. it was too linger-y and too strong. i'm assuming it was strong because i could smell it.

but...did angela go out into the hall and sniff it for me, to confirm? no. she did not. instead she sends me a note that says "i'm NOT gonna go smell a fart for you." and suddenly i thought... hmn. maybe that was a perfectly ole thing to ask her to do. hmn.

eventually something shiny crossed my line of sight and i dropped the entire matter. only to stumble onto this blog today... and discover... (sheesh)

xoxoxo,
she who has sensitive nose

(remember that season when we all had indian names? i think that was sometime after we all had spice names. al hart was old spice. i was tardy spice. i remember we had a colleague who is no longer in the newsroom but still in the building... who had a funny funny indian name but i can't remember what it was...)
