TRIGGER WARNING! GRAPHIC ANECDOT.
It goes without saying, I am embarrassed to even write the following down.
There is a guy at my workplace, I named him ^cheese^ and unfortunately his
locker is close to mine.
Now, what cheese does is wearing the same socks for the entire week.
Keep in mind that we wear safety shoes that are pretty heavy with metal prorecting the toes.
I let you get the picture of what kind of odour is there when he takes those off. It’s unbelievable! Using Trump’s buzzword it’s ^yuge^
What I do now is to run like mad when it’s time to go down and change my clothes so that when he arrives I am done.
Thanks
Hey Dan
I run like hell to when I smell sons body odour.
Luckily
My work is sedantary
I m on the phone with grumpy, grunting client for 4 hours or done Dryden trying to calm them down and get them to stick to the devises that are provided for them
The rest, I m a part of marketing team making deals and drafting contracts.
So
No sweating for us.
It is all sitting around and talk

It is not a joking matter people.
The presidential trails by far shows that Trump is in a very good position to win the republican candidacy and I , I belive , he has a good crack at trouncing Hilary.
scary
