Homie G Super was waving around one of the little bricks of air freshener today. He had it sitting on a shelf by his desk. He raved about how good it smelled. To prove it, he took a long whiff of it.

He was promptly teased about huffing air freshener, and brain damage. I went off on a tangent about how those things are scary.


Stressy College Chick fought with the floor yesterday. The floor won. She was in massive pain with the hand, and it's looking more bruised today. (There was roughhousing, and hand/floor interface is not a good one.) She found her tendinitis brace and is temporarily using that. We are all totally worried about her.

I ran $ISSUE_SIDE_JOB today, sort of. I ran it on paper. Obso1337 Super ran it on the computer. I monitored for a bit, then enlisted the help of the other monitor in today and took over the handing out and discussing monitor reports, and the handing out and discussing of stats. I aim to be a good supervisor.

Obso1337 Super says that as soon as I'm checked out on the computers I'll be good to go for actually running jobs on my own. Granted, I'll still be asking for people to help me do this and that, to make sure I've got it all down OK, but I'm pretty much all done with the stuff.

The prospect of being a Real Live Supervisor is thrilling, and scares me more than I can describe.

Another air freshener spotted atop the tampon machine. Tricky things. Figures those two are in league together.

Via [livejournal.com profile] dduane: Fuzzy Logic error messages.

Because of going gaga over [livejournal.com profile] trapezzoid's music, I wound up on Tindeck. Weird stuff there. The song "Pi" (the tasty remix that's going around with video, evidently) is very good listening, but listens better with the first 43 seconds lopped off. iLove my iTunes. (Related: the iHop, a portable pancake server. Uses Blackberry technology.Users tend to wind up with bluetooth. Blame [livejournal.com profile] dustraven.)

Hand is feeling much better, ditto with arm. All that's left now is the rather extensive bruising that's going to develop thanks to the merry whack I fetched the hand. That can be worked around.

Wound up hanging out with [livejournal.com profile] dustraven and [livejournal.com profile] trystan_laryssa this evening. Dropped on by, had fun. [livejournal.com profile] dustraven evidently absolutely loves Lemon Demon. Hee, hee. iHop IHOP was followed by short Lemon Demon marathon (jumbo shrimp?) and then Star Wars animations. (Where is a Darkside when a girl needs him most? Fixing a computer, that's where. Or sleeping. Silly man. ;)

Had very late and surreal conversation about the nasal stage with [livejournal.com profile] trystan_laryssa in the process of leaving. We were both late-night-giddy, and this led weird places. I wound up telling her the Saga of the Work Air Freshener Bricks, complete with the latest developments.

The air freshener that I sniffed was not put securely back up on the corner of the near corner stall, and fell to the floor. The following morning, I espied no air freshener on the floor in that place, but a heretofore unseen air freshener brick sitting in or near the delivery slot of the tampon/pad machine. (This is clearly the same brick, just moved some.) I fear it's giving the tampons and pads a not-so-fresh scent.

It's like a game of find-the-air-freshener. I wonder if someone should start taping them places with the thick clear tape. Just to see what would happen.

I see a fifth vile brick in the loo.

My curiousity got the better of me when I was alone in the restroom. I took a paper towel and picked up the oldest brick of air freshener I knew of, the one balanced on the top of the stall cubicle walls.

It was very dusty indeed, since it had been sitting up there for some time. I cautiously sniffed at it. Though it was old, it had a powerful smell of something fruity and vile, reminiscent of the results when a five-year-old spills two clashing bottles of scented lotion together.

A diabolical inspiration came to me. If ever I had any vile perfume to dispose of, I could smuggle it into the workplace, wait until alone, and pour it onto the spongelike air fresheners. No one could tell the difference.

These air fresheners are supposedly organic (I saw one in the wrapper), and are little blocks of pressed fiber of some obscure sort or other. They look for all the world like 2" x 2" x .25" chunks of a fine-grained particle board or dehydrated yellow sponge.

I'm not sure what their expected lifespan is, but they just keep collecting in the oddest places around the workplace. There are at least three balanced on little ledges and crammed into crevices in the bathroom. There is one sitting on top of the moulding around a supply closet door.

(There are actually four or more in the ladies' room. There was an extra one balanced on top of the lights that I didn't remember being in there.)

They almost look too scary to attempt to sniff to see if they're still good. What if they're industrial-strength, still good, and burn out the nostrils? What if they've picked up the inevitable scents from sitting in the bathroom? These are rather silly fears that could be avoided by using the proper chemistry trick of wafting the scent to the nose rather than getting a good snootful of the experiment in progress, but they are still concerns under consideration.

According to the packaging, the scent is allegedly "green apple", at least on some of the items. We shall see about that.

The little squares of air freshener have been multiplying. No one gets rid of the dead ones. There is no way to tell.
