So I am a professional. And as a professional I have to act in a certain way, but let me tell you there are times when professionalism falls by the wayside. For instance, when I go to see a client and I am meet with the pungent smell of nacho cheese. Now let me be clear, no one is eating nachos, they smell like nachos. Just the rancid,cheesy, pungent smell of... well I don't even know. Where does a smell like that even come from. It is toxic, it makes your eyes water and your nose burn, but what do you do, your a professional so you have to work through it right? Well heaven help me...
We know that dragons breath fire, but people... Seriously. Why must you assault my nose? What the hell did I ever do to you? Just because I decide to talk to you (I admit I can be a pistol depending on the conversation) there is no need to knock me out with your breath. The odor is different from body odors and regular bad breath. You would think that the smell would dissipate in the air, it is almost like the air gives it strength and intensity then it floats out at you and strikes like at slap to the face when it hits you.
Sassy Pineapple (SP) is on vacation, but before she left she did a home visit for one of my clients. She got a hug, the client sat on her lap for a bit, and then while talking to the parent, the "rash" was brought up. The child has had a rash that has been spreading consistently. While it is being treated it has continued to spread... I have to say, I absolutely love that SP was sat on so that the rash could be spread to her prior to being told of its existence. I got quite a laugh out of it, well SP was not so amused. You might have guessed from my blog title the rash is of the wormy nature... Ring worm that is.
What is it about a boys locker room. It inevitably smells of sweat and dirty socks. Why is that? What is it about boys? Now don't get me wrong, being an athlete I have been in many a stinky girls locker room, but there is just something about a boys locker room that defies the sense of smell. Well there is that, and then there are the people who smell like the boys locker room. Seriously people, bathing every now and again is not that hard. I get that people sweat, but could we put on some deodorant. If not for your own sake then for the sake of all of the people who have to smell you throughout the day. Seriously, a little deodorant would go a long way. I really don't understand it, and I absolutely cannot bare the smell of it. And while I love Julia Roberts and Matthew McConaughey going au natural is not cool, it stinks.
When I get up each day I shower, brush my hair, brush my teeth, take care of my basic grooming needs. I wear clean clothes and by all accounts I don't smell and at the very least I try my best each day not to. Now I know there are times we all do things that make us sweaty or smelly or whatever; that is different then smelling like nacho cheese, dragon breath, and sweat and dirty socks. I expect the same good (or at the very least decent hygiene) of others. I deserve to be able to go out into the world and not have to deal with an assault on my senses, particularly my nose. Bottom line... shower, clean yourself, wear deodorant. Women shave your pits because heaven help me that is a stink fest. Brush your teeth, use mouthwash whatever... Just please take care of the smell. Oh, and if you have a rash, let the person know before you decide to sit on their lap or give them hugs, it would seriously suck if the shit spread!
