Speaking of big stinks

Speaking of big stinks, I just had to replace a monitor upstairs. I knew as soon as I hit that hallway that it had shorted, the odor was a definite give away. Luckily we had an extra sitting at an empty cubicle, so I didn’t have to run out and buy one on the spot. The next time it happens, though, we might not be so lucky.

The funny thing, though, is that this person had a candle burning at her desk, (Yes for some reason that’s acceptable behavior here, don’t ask me why, I don’t agree with it!) and thought maybe that was the source of the smell. My response, ” I don’t think anyone would want to sell a candle with that odor, it really wouldn’t be a popular seller”. 🙂

  • Linked – Research: Where Managers and Employees Disagree About Remote Work

    They point out a hypothetical situation where the employee looks at their “work” day to include the commute and maybe some other time, but the manager isn’t. That’s a huge disconnect. Speaking for myself, I will never volunteer to go back to an in-office or even a hybrid position because of how much time you spend going back and forth and the limiting factor of needing to be in that place for the entire time in between. Why? If the work can get done from anywhere, why would we expect anyone to spend so much time going somewhere else every day?
