Cologne Free - For a Day At Least

Well, I'm still alive and guess what - it worked. My co-worker must have remembered my request (finally!) and didn't put cologne on before work today so I made it through all day without a headache which was fortunate since my workday was over ten hours.

Computer problems galore today and EXTREMELY frustrating. The computer geeks have been beefing up the main program we use and you know what that means, lol. We appear to be their beta testers in real time or else they just don't bother with testing. Then when you report that the program is taking 1.5 minutes to do what used to take 5 seconds they're saying it must be your computer and to reboot. This delay doesn't sound that bad until you multiply it times the thousand transactions necessary to accomplish what needs to be done. Anyway after finally convincing them that it has to be the programming they're saying yes it is but they have to do the fix over the weekend so no help today. Grrrrrr. . . .

Death by Cologne?

One of my co-workers continues to wear strong cologne to work every day and so today I asked him to just wear a bit more tomorrow and maybe my reaction to it will be so strong that it'll finally kill me and put me out of my misery. I'm just really tired of having to work every day with a pounding heart, splitting headache, and nausea. He was rather allarmed by my request. Guess I'll find out tomorrow whether I die or maybe, just maybe, he'll think twice before reaching for that bottle of cologne.
