A little while ago, a few of us went out to do an errand. When we got back in the car, my nose was assaulted by the smell of skunk. I thought maybe it was outside (though now that I think about it, I'm not sure if there are skunks here), or that one of us had suddenly developed some powerful BO. So, I didn't feel like I could say anything, just in case it was the latter. How embarassing it would be if I then discovered it was my pits smelling so skunky. Or someone elses.

So then I come back to the office and kept getting whiffs of skunk. I started sniffing various body parts and realized that my left shoulder was the culprit. Once I determined that it wasn't the pits - of my body or my shirt - I thought it might be okay to ask a friend if she smelled it, too. She was able to spot what I could not - a tiny spot, goldenrod in color, on the back shoulder of my shirt.

I've tried dabbing with water and alcohol, but I can't full-on take my shirt off to clean it, so the smell still clings. This may call for a little shopping trip. Just so I can focus on my work for the last hour or so.
