Ok, so it looks like I may have some… Sensitivities.
I mean to certain aromatic chemicals.
My boss used to have a particular hand lotion that was a problem. I could tell as soon as he opened the bottle. It made my eyes burn.
There was a person working with our office last year who sometimes wore perfume. It would give me a migrane in seconds.
Today, I walk in to the office and something smells just… awful. I ask around and nobody else can smell it. To me it smells like some kind of terrible fake flowers poured up and down the hall. If other folks really tried, they could sort of smell a little bit of a chemical scent. Breathing it for most of the day left me dizzy and nausous.
So, I wound up going home a bit early today. It took about half an hour of breathing fresh outdoor air before the cotton balls fell out of my head. My boss called in to the rental agency to figure out what happened.
Turns out they cleaned the carpet last night.
But they only cleaned half the carpet. They’ll be back to do the rest of it tonight.
So. I’m gonna be at the hospital office for the rest of the week. Hopefully it won’t be a problem.
