Smokers and Perfume

Mrs.Thistletwat

Seriously? I come in to my office at 9am. By 9:45 I have a raging headache. The receptionists wear too much perfume and scents that are too heavy. One of them is a smoker and the combination of perfume and smoke smell is enough to make me want to die.

Here's to day 2 this week of my headache.

You know I ditto the heck out of this. Add the smell from a dozen fish tanks and dog feces and you are in my world of pain.

I absolutely loathe the smell of a smoker, especially one who tries to mask it with something else.  *barf

I can't see out of my left eye that's how bad my head is right now. Last night I couldn't fall asleep because of the pain. I have 6 more hours of this before being able to go home.

I think you've posted about this before? So it's obviously affecting you physically, which in turn can affect your work performance.

If you don't want to directly, i'd say at least mention that scents/perfumes give you migraines.

This from a person who used to smoke. She may not realize it bothers you. I notice now that I use less perfume and smell better. Back then I didn't think about it much. I also have a LOT less migraines. Hooray!

This is an occupational hazard of my job. A lot of people we see are smokers or live in homes with heavy smokers. I was supposed to talk to a guy about some stuff we were doing but I had to ask the other girl to do it, the combo of cigarettes and men's cologne was not good.
