It smells like...

Published

a nurse's office in here! Of course, it's a nurse's office. I use disinfectants in here. Trust me, you should be happy I do. Besides, what else should it smell like, a bakery?

teen spirit?

That's exactly what I thought when I read the title to this post.

I use PDI Sani-Cloths to wipe down in my office. I also use a Lysol spray sometimes.

Funny story, room full of kids, and a 1st grader comes in to use my bathroom, and he comes out a second later and goes "EWWW, It smell like **** in here!!". LOL, funny, but not funny. I was like "well yes it is a bathroom". This kid was famous for swearing a LOT at school.

My office smells fine...my 11 year-old son's bedroom on the other hand :wideyed:

Seriously, the kid showers every morning and every evening before bed. Wears deodorant, wears clean clothes..but Oh.my.god does his room reek! I actually searched it for either rotting food or a dead animal, lol.

I keep a wax melt lamp on my desk, as my office is too close to the boys' locker room. If anyone complains about the smell or the temp of my office (I'm hot natured), I usually smile and say, "You don't have to stay."

I mean, I ate the soup at my desk with students sitting there, and now that I think about it one or more may have been puking...but shoot, I have to eat.

True nurse story there!

My wife dealt with a parent diagnosed sensory disorder student who was faking puking for the golden ticket. This was after lunch and my wife was trying to eat lunch; the student was stating how he doesn't tolerate smells, repeatedly. She finally turned to him and said that this was her lunch time and this was her office and the student could go back to class if it offended him. She doesn't deal with snowflakes, at all.:inlove::inlove:

My room smells like pee. Probably because the custodians (I love them btw) don't clean my room until the next morning, or Monday morning if it is a Friday. So the poopy wipes in the trashcan, or diapers get to sit and fester. I actually bought the little clip on car air fresheners and put them on the mirror in the bathroom, but they mysteriously disappeared.

My cousin and I found some pork chop bones under my brother's bed once.
