icarusGah! Gag! Choke! The guy in the cubicle next to me is wearing
REALLY HEAVY COLOGNE
Hack, hack, hack.
Am visualising buckets of water over his head. Sprinklers. Little storm clouds. A large fan. If only one of these imaginary objects would animate, my problems would be solved!
(You must understand, I really hate cologne in any case, give me good old-fashioned manly sweat any day. Gack. This is the cheap stuff, too.)

I feel your pain.
One thing that might help is putting something like Vicks Vaporub under your nose. Replace one smell with another. Isn't this what coroners do? Or, if you were an Arab woman in the Medina, centuries ago, you could attach bits of orange peel to the veil in front of your face, to protect you from the stench of the outside world.
I don't know if that last factoid is true, but I like it terribly much.
