There is a woman here who wears so much perfume I smell her and I sit four cubicle rows from her desk. And these are head-high cubicles. The kind that should block something out. Anything. PLEASE.
She walks around a lot. She has a boss who works in a different city and she runs reports each month for him. Since that’s her job, you can imagine her free time.
To wander. And spread her smells. It just wafts all over the area. It’s like working in a brothel. I imagine. And what’s crazy odd about it is that the smell is as strong in the late afternoon as it is in the morning. I’m not so sure she doesn’t reapply throughout the day.
But, here’s the added bonus. She coughs constantly. A normal person could connect the two, but I don’t consider her normal. She’s also the taping person and there’s more where that came from.
I’d like to get her in a room alone for a minute. So, I can explain to her what should and shouldn’t be in public and how she can solve her nagging cough. She’d never get it, but I’d feel like I had done a public service for a second or until the next cough or walk-around.
I had the same problem with a woman in my office. Get a note from a doctor saying you can’t be in an office around strong perfume because it gives you headaches & migraines. (Any doctor will write that note at your request). Take it to your own boss, and then he has no choice but to deal with the woman. Let him address her boss.
