Something that doesn't happen everyday - January 18, 2008
My office had a carbon monoxide leak today...
I guess it technically wasn't a leak. There is a hotel being built next to my building, and the cement trucks were parked right next to the vents that go into the building. The fumes from the cement trucks were coming in through the vents and being pumped into our offices. I have an open vent in my office right above my desk.
I noticed the smell when I got in this morning, but thought someone just burnt something nasty in the kitchen. Then as the day wore on, I came down with a vicious headache. After swallowing 5 Advil (is that too much?), I decided to find another office to work in that wasn't as fumey. And that, my bitches, is when the giggles set in. I become so fucking loopy. My two co-workers and I sat in the same office and "super poked" each other on facebook (fyi...throwing a sheep is totally fun) all afternoon.
Now the headache is back.
I'm pretty sure there are people out there that would pay good money for this experience...

carbon monoxide is odorless
TRIXIE EDIT: Yes, but fumes from a CEMENT TRUCK are not! I thought that was so clear...

also they mix they co with something that smells so you can tell when it's leaking or else it would go undetected and kill you
