Stink Intervention
I have mentioned the stinky co-worker before (June 16th to be exact). Basically, it is a guy who tends to go several days without showering and has progressively stinky b.o. On the worst day, I can smell him when he is in the copy room, which is across the hall from my office. I realize that in my pregnant state, I am more prone to be bothered by foul smells. However, everyone in the office complains about it. After complaining on my blog, I am writing to let everyone know that progress has been made!!!
Last Wednesday, he came with very greasy hair & smelling about as bad as he ever has. I decided that the best thing for me to do was avoid him. When everyone else started complaining horribly, I suggested that they call the president of the company (who was in the Orlando office) & let him know. Hey - I have told him several times & I think it should come from a non-pregnant person. They all complain more than I do and make jokes about him. When it bothers me, I just mention it to the boss.
You may think this all sounds petty, but the team of people he works with had an important meeting with clients. He smelled so bad that they insisted on opening the conference doors & turning down the a/c (to 65 degrees). You know they were suffering, but the opened doors pushed the smell out, which nearly had the receptionist throwing up. She finally couldn't take it anymore and made the call to the boss to ask if she could sit at another desk in a back office.
We all realize that the boss has discussed these types of issues with him over the years & wondered if progress would be made. A little phone call in the afternoon seems to have done something. It is a week later & I think he is showering on a regular basis. Good JOB!
How long will this last? I hope at least another week because this weekend they should be moving into their construction trailer & we won't be seeing him much in the main office. -I know I'm RUDE, but I can't wait!

This blog is like a journal for me. It is also a way for my friends to keep tabs on me.
For people who don't know me, I come from a big family (3 brothers & 1 sister). We moved around a LOT, so I am not really from one particular place. I like to call Katy, Texas my home though.
Recent news, my Dad & Mother-in-Law were diagnosed with Terminal Cancer in April/May of 2005. My dad passed away 5-Dec-05 .
