Of Babies, Flowers and Egg McMuffins
Today is full of smells. The office is permeated with all sorts of fragrances that are sending me into a tizzy.In this corner, we have a sick infant that came with mommy to work. The waft of that powdery smell sent the biological clock ringing so hard that I had to beat the crap out of it with a sledgehammer, a la' Looney Tunes style. (That's why I stay away from infants. There are only so many sledgehammers to the pelvic region I can take.) It did help that baby made a poopoo about 10 minutes later, and the subsequent odor was gag-inducing. Blech.
In the other corner, we have two beautiful arrangements of flowers given to my boss and me in appreciation of the past couple weeks and the weeks to come. These things sit about two feet high (no kidding) and are crowded with lilies(!), tea roses and hydrangea. The floral aroma is heaven-sent, and is causing daydreams of running through fields of flowers in a flowy dress and straw hat (or, more likely, jeans and flip-flops).
Lastly, the resident of our "Being John Malkovich" floor brought in breakfast from McDeath this morning, and there's no mistaking the smell of a sausage, egg and cheese biscuit...especially when you haven't eaten in about 22 hours. Whoops. Looks like lunch will be early today, and more breakfast-like than not.
