A few days ago our division secretary was having a minor glitch with her
computer and she asked me to help her with it. I had just gotten in and
this was the first social contact of the day. I took my jacket off and went
to her office.
As I sat by her and massaged the keyboard, I began to notice a distinctive
musky odor and it got increasingly stronger as time went by. A couple of my
ferrets had been unusually rowdy that morning and were all over me. I
figured that they had left their mark. Since I had several meetings that
day, I got concerned that people would think I hadn't showered for some
time. I was trying to distract Liz so I could sniff my shirt and figure out
how bad things were. No matter where I sniffed, I couldn't find the source.
Maybe it was my hair? A few waves of the hand around my head didn't
identify the source. Finally, I broke down and asked Liz if she had a new
perfume. That was it! Fortunately, she knows about my crew so she didn't
kick my butt when I told her she smelled like my ferrets. Morale: The odor
that we so often try to lessen is the object of others' desire. However,
Liz hasn't worn it since!
