Mad Secretary excells herself.

[sparkindarkness]

It's still bloody cold.

And to make it worse the thing from the black lagoon came to an appointment (not with me thankfully) again. The Thing is a rather large lady who sweats when standing still in a walk in freezer. She changes her clothes about once a month, showers once a year and is completely unacquainted with any kind of perfume, deoderant or anti-perspirent. At least, that's what it smells like.

While we flinch away and act polite, mad secretary doth quoth:

"God, did someone kill a Yak in here?"

I feel sorry for the person who has the appointment and had to keep a straight face.

The Thing is now known as the Yak. Her files have all been suitably labelled.

I was sent here by a friend of mine. I'm a secretary for a Family Lawyer; I feel your pain! We order "Glade" in bulk, and it has been rechristened "Legal Aid Spray" :-)

I've added you to my friends list; hope you don't mind! Nice to meet you :-)

Legal Aid spray! Oh how very true!

(gods does that sound snobby - but it's true! It's TRUE!).

I also find that some people, nervous about going to a lawyer's office, will actually dump a vat of perfume on themselves to smell palatable. Yuck.


Nice to meet you too, welcome aboard.

I know what you mean - the only thing worse than "unwashed sweaty minging body" is "unwashed sweaty minging body with half a gallon of Charlie body spray covering it up". *shudder*

Looking back through your entries, I get the vague feeling that you might be fairly local to me - do feel free to check my user info and tell me if I'm right! Small world if you are :-)

I can swee the glass etching at the strength of some of this muck. It's like walking into a room full of mace.


Why, you're a yella-belly! from south of the water. Not far at all
