Ode to Perfume

I know i’m not the only person on earth that hates an excess of perfume.  especially when i can’t get away from it.  like today.  a co-worker is wearing so much that my eyes have literally started to turn red and burn like i’m high, drunk and dehydrated all at once.  now, the question becomes, can they not smell how overpowering they are?  she’s not a smoker so clearly she CAN still smell. you can’t walk up to her and say, ‘Hi.  You stink and you’re killing my brain cells.’  that’s just not friendly. 

i’d propose a ban, but of the eight women in my office, the five offenders are grandma age and highly set in their ways.  i’d have better luck teaching them how to write code than getting them to change perfumes or stop wearing it at work. 

suck.
