our whole damn store smells like paint and turpentine! we've got the door open, the fan is on but the smell, it won't fade. :mad:

they're repairing something downstairs from us and we get all the fumes through this elevator shaft thingie (elevator not been in use for ages and these two floors don't have anything to do with one another.

last night it took me nearly twice as long to do all the after-closingtime stuff, it's like I was fecking drunk!

got a headache aswell and if this smell isn't the cause it's not making it any better anyway. :(

argh! I just needed to vent..

the customers are complaining too.. well, not really complaining, mainly annoyed and sorry for us who have to work in these fumes.

thank fuck I'm off tomorrow!!!

this can't be very good for anybodys health...

    I know. or at least they should pay me more money!! (;))

    well, I cranked up the fan and it seems to help a bit.. at least it blows the stuff away from me.


    potential radioactive waste?!?!? :eek: well at least our boss tried to do something, he called the maintenance people but they are apparently unable to get any fanning or stuff downstairs.. bloody typical.

    As serious as this issue is - and I agree with Helen that it's very serious - maybe you can use this as an excuse to actually get drunk, and blame the fumes?:)

    don't think I haven't considered that already. ;)

    but the thing is, I'll be flying tomorrow and I don't think a hangover (though I don't get too many of those) would be a nice travel companion. :o:D

    Well, you owe yourself one drunk-at-work day then.:p

    On a slightly related note, I always found it rather worrying when my old vice-principal made me and a friend go around every single room in our school, setting up radon detectors.:eek: Apparently, the Intel site nearby was "fuming-us-up" good...

    It all ends well: I've since left that school, and go to a college even closer to the Intel site!:p

    Also: in sympathy with your plight, I've taken to sniffing permanent markers. For solidarity!:D

    could be, could be the fumes.

    damn, I wish I'd brought Mothership (the Led Zep best of) with me tonight, I'm thinking songs like Dazed and Confused could get some new meanings and provoke interesting thoughts. :D
