DISCLAIMER: It's a weird week. You'll need to lower your expectations. |
Here I have compiled together a list of jobs I have had along with the smells that I can remember from those jobs.
Apprentice in a PC repair shop (My first real job):
Cigarette smoke
Web designer / IT guy in my family's real estate company:
Apple-bees and coffee
Production manager at an imaging company:
Old Paper
Web Designer at an aftermarket auto performance shop:
Grease, Sweat, Old drywall, Sweaty Dude Farts (Not mine, the other employees hated that I had a desk job and would intentionally carpet bomb my office)...
Car Audio installer:
Wood shavings, soap, carpet glue
Door to door pizza coupon sales guy:
Oak trees, antifreeze, mace
Phone based tech support at AOL:
The body odor of 1000 nerds, and one particularly hygiene challenged female cubical neighbor
Communications Tech (911/dispatch/radio) at a large police department:
Cigarette smoke, burnt coffee, Lysol, and the body(?) odor of one particularly hygiene challenged female co-worker
Current job, but another location with other employees:
Coffee (The good kind), and a sales guy who used these things in his office like they were a scented candle... You'll notice the word "adjustable" in that picture, but he just took the lid right off and sat it next to his computer monitor. It was so powerful that it became his smell.
I could literally smell him coming down the hall before he ever arrived at my somehow always empty office. "What's that? Oh, sorry, I must have just missed you" was a typical script when he came calling.
I hope you were able to imagine each of those smells. This post was my way of eliciting a physical reaction from you. Hopefully you made some funny faces while reading the list, otherwise your webcam pictures are going to be horrible...
