One minor annoyance at work…since we don’t have a breakroom, then microwave is out in the open, about ten feet from my cube, and so I smell every frozen entree that is nuked throughout the day. This does not just occur during lunch hours; I generally am smelling something between 10 and 4 everyday. Since nothing being nuked is particularly appetizing, these scents do not make me hungry.
Sounds like time for a little aromatherapy. The cheap version: some cotton balls dabbed with a fragrance you like: citrus, lavender, whatever. Whole Foods Market, Weaver Street Market, places like that have a good selection of essential oils, and most of them are reasonably priced, especially the citrus family ones.
