Kelly,
Sounds like someone is just trying to make your life a living hell. Some people just hate animals and think those of us who go out of our way to help them are nuts, and they are going to proove it to us by embarrasing us every chance they get.
There are bullies in the office place too!
If you have a humane resource manager, just explain what is going on, the steps you've undertaken to protect your co-workers from undesired odors, and ask for help. If someone is having a problem with your "smell" they need to be allowed to move to another part of the office. If you are taking all necessary precautions, and this "someone" is still complaining, perhaps this someone is having auditory hallucinations and needs to seek counseling. (It happens.)
If you want to be a smarta** buy a jar of Vicks vapor rub and give it to your
HR person to give to the one who is doing all the complaining. They use it in mortuaries to help cover the odor of rotting corpes....just have the complainer dab a small bit under each nostril...surely that would work for your highly sensitive....pain in the patutie coworker. <sorry...couldn't resist>
If there is nothing in your office's Conduct Code mentioning odors, your coworker has no leg to stand on. If there ARE rules in your office's Conduct Code, once you follow them, you are under no committment to do more than what is specified in the rules. If your coworker still has a problem, it is up to the boss or the H.R. admin to address it with THEM...and is no longer your responsibility.
(I rescued a stray dog one day on my way to school fed her and took her to class -art college-dogs were allowed in the studios- she was very quite and stayed still (mostly slept)the whole 6
hours, but one little so and so kept complaining about her being there. He finally raised a ruckus about how badly she stank! Almost in tears, I was starting to lead her out -I was going to leave class early to take her to the pound- when a fellow classmate spoke up and enlighted the annoyed party to the fact that he was painting a watercolor on watercolor paper...MOST of which are treated with rabbit skin glue...and yes, IT stinks when wet. The stink was ACTUALLY coming from HIM. The rest of the class chimed in and the little twitt finally shut up about it.)
Ask your boss or HR rep. if the offensive odor your coworker is smelling might actually be coming from his/her own space...perhaps rancid food forgotten in the desk?
In any rate, thank the twitt for his or her imput and suggest that he/she find a way to deal with it.
Good luck,
T

Well, someone just called me in to the conference room and said I smelled like a litter box. I pulled this dress out of the washer this morning. It was washed in 1 cup white vinegar plus detergent plus oxyclean. There is no way it was peed on unless the cats got in the washer and peed on it. I don't know what to do.

What dosage per pound do you medicate? Is Panacur ok
to use on kittens? I have never used it before. I
have always use Flagy instead.
Thanks!
