Fishy

I have this habit of popping two cod liver oil capsules everyday.

So on this particular day, I just swallowed one and was about to pop in another when my boss came to desk to inquire about something.

While attending to her, I was holding the capsule in the other hand, under the desk and was squeezing it all the while. (I have this other habit of squeezing and toying with liquid capsules)

It got warmer and less rigid. Then my boss left so I happily took my cup of water to swallow the capsule with my right hand still toying with it..

And POP, it burst and the oil splashed all over my uniform. The putrid smell of rotten fish invaded my nostrils and before the stench starts floating all over the department, I hurried to the ladies to clean my clothes.

I used the hand wash liquid to ‘wash’ my skirt and I hate the smell of the liquid by the way, it has this strange fruity smell yet with a touch of frangipani.

I ended up smelling like a frangipani fruity rotten fish the whole day, with severe throbbing headache.

…And they say aroma therapy is good for you..my foot!
