What B.O. you have!
So i think i talk about work way too much but here is one more story. So i have worked at my job about 4 years. For the past for years i have dealt with the body odor of the other hygienist. At first it was just a sharp odor that you picked up right away but now after four years, i am just use to it. Well, i don't know what has happened lately, maybe it's the fact that it has gotten a bit warmer but last week, her body odor became this living, breathing organism that assaulted me and brought me to my knees! It was inescapable. Apparently almost everyone was assaulted because we ended up talking about how something needed to be said. No one wanted to do it. Well we ended up having a meeting one morning and one of the girls says, " oh we have had a couple patients complain about body odor so everyone needs to make sure they are clean and that they wear deodorant." I looked at the one who said it and just thought, wow you are amazing, i can't believe how easily you did that. So i think the b.o. offender got the point because, we happened to have deodorant in the office and she put some on. So on the one hand i think, great, problem solved, but on the other hand ,i don't like her, and her b.o. was like the one thing in which i had the upper hand. You know she's been doing hygiene a lot longer than me, she may be a better hygienist than me, but dang it, at least i could be the hygienist that didn't have the body odor. And now i can't even have that title.
