fish incident

I was really really embarrassed today.  I took fish today for lunch at the office.  My floor has very few walls.  The whole floor is cubicles.  As I warm up the fish in the microwave and bring it to my cubby I realize I’ve done a great faux pas.  I personally couldn’t smell it.  I can’t smell so well.  I heard two co-workers confirm to each other… “fish” from their cubbies without stepping out.  They were just calling out to one another like Marco Polo or something.  I was mortified.  Then the fellow intern who’s amazing to work with, so glad I like her as much as I do, comes over and warns me I have potent fish issues.  I was so embarrassed and she tried to comfort me.  A few minutes later though she gracefully walked over to my cubby and fell apart laughing in the privacy of my cubby.  “People at the window can smell it now”, she says in between gasps of air she’s struggling to take because she’s laughing so hard.  Grief.
