Seriously...how many times do I have to say it, the smell of fish warming up in the microwave is going to send me into an olfactory fit! I'm not sure why you think I'm kidding. Laughing your way through an apology every time you do it doesn't help. It only makes me want to hit something. Why do people insist on bringing seafood into the workplace? If you think the rest of us in the office are looking at you funny on your way back to your desk from nuking that hunk of nastyness, you're right...WE ARE! IT FREAK'N STINKS! Just because you enjoyed it the night before does not mean we're all going to enjoy the smell of it as it fills up the entire office the next day. Ugh.. Seriously...

Just a little update: My sister has totally called me out in front of everybody on the whole fish smell thing. Her response on facebook to my dilemma was as follows, "Lisa are you forgetting who brings a FISH sandwich into the movies!!!!!" Well no, I have not forgotten. That would be me. BUT let me explain. First of all, the slight odor (not that there is any at all) is different in that it is freshly cooked, not reheated. Second, it is deep fried giving it a 2 inch layer of unrecognizable crispy goodness. So really...it's not even a piece of fish anymore. Third, I only do this when I go right after work, so there are not a lot of people there. I sit away from everyone just in case anyone has a super hero nose like myself. Fourth, the smell of popcorn is so strong that you really don't smell anything else. So see...I have not violated this golden rule. I would say it does not apply in this situation. mmmmkay?
