Last night my supervisor brings to my attention that my co-worker had a horrific case of halitosis the night previous. Why he brought this to my door step was nothing out of the ordinary, as you can't rip ass while taking a piss without it coming back to you. Anyhow, this happens to the best of us every now and then, so I took the info in, and figured that would be the end of it. Well as the day progresses forward and I return from lunch, I see said co-worker returning from the camode with "reach" in tow. Apparently my supervisor took him aside and made him privy to this hygienic mishap. A somber cloud was cast over the entire room, as my dejected colleague, moped off towards the expanse cursing the day he ever chose the "5th dentist".
I know most of us would like to be clued in if our "essence" could be felt, but this intervention seemed a little rash in my opinion. Personally, I would have given it a couple days to see if it was a persistent problem. Despite what one say's in terms of wanting to be told when one's odor runs amok, the attention tendered and expressed by one's peers will linger far beyond the offense.

... no joke.
