I work in a sealed building. On cold days like today the heat is on and the air is recycled. People come to work wearing aftershave, cologne, perfume--drenched in it. My asthma kicks into high attack mode.

I wish people would realize that scents are to tantalize and enhance, not to marinate in. And certainly not to attack with. I would love to sigh right now, but I can't breathe well enough to do anything more than gasp.
