Ooh, or other thought--steal the Lysol and put out some Clorox wipes instead. Then they can use those for cleaning, but can't for "air freshening"

Ugh erin, how aggravating, especially the tearing off the message.

That house is way too awesome, I would so want to live there!

Oh, which reminds me, Jilli if you are in the LA area this Halloween, there's a house in a nearby neighborhood that does the most amazing decorations, inside and out. The front of the house is done as an homage to the classic Hollywood horror films, the inside is an homage to the Haunted Mansion and the backyard is decorated to look like the bayou setting at the start of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Seriously awesome!

I think Meara wins it with the Clorox wipes.

Clorox wipes absolutely wins! I'll suggest that to the H&S committee, my supervisor, and admin/HR if they refuse to take any action. I know other air fresheners were denied before because of our "fragrance free" policy. I'm astonished that a substance so stinky you can TASTE it is somehow exempt. I don't really have another option for bathroom use, we're only allowed off the floor twice a day max and I pee more often than that.

if you have fragrance free, how can lysol be used at all?

askye, I'm so sorry. The brain is a tricksy beast indeed.

erin, Clorox wipes sound like a winner.

sj, that is one cute bebbeh. I want to kiss her little nose.

Have been sleeping on and off. Didn't have dinner. Should probably eat something, unfortunately am out of yogurt.

Argh! We're not going to make it to LA for Halloween this year. Which makes me VERY SAD, as I miss Pix & ND (and everyone else!), and I won't get the chance to visit the Haunted Mansion while it's in the Nightmare Before Christmas makeover.

But between the looming work deadline (Nov. 16th) and Steamcon the weekend before Halloween, there was just no way we could do it. On the other hand, I have a new work environment to introduce to my blood-spattered vampire costume ...

This is what I keep asking, but no one is listening. Enforcement is bizarre. The coworker who showed up in a vanilla musk perfume had to go home and shower (and use up sick or vacation time to do so) but the coworkers who fill the air with nasty stinky spray? No one seems willing to speak up. Except me, but then I get gently spanked on the wrist and told "tsk tsk, it's *needed* for cleanup." Such a bizarre culture.

Well the ability to clean up blood is needed, yes. But not something that is being used for other purposes. If it were the ONLY sanitizer, I can see it. It is not. There are wipes. Use those.

I mean, I don't think anyone wants to work where there is unknown blood smeared on a bathroom wall that is just left there. But a wipe is even more effective and cannot be misused and thus wasted.

WTF, are you sharing this bathroom with random strangers off the street, or is it YOUR COWORKERS smearing blood on the walls?!? Seriously, WTF?
