Burnt Popcorn

My office building has this office floor plan (read: waste of space) where the center of every floor is wide open, creating this square where you can see, hear and yes… smell, everything that happens on any given floor. So you can really visualize it, every time someone retires, we all go out to the railings on our assigned floors and clap for the escapee… err… retiree as they leave the building on the first floor.

No one in my building has been able to explain the architecture genius that is this too-open floor plan.

But never is it worse than when someone burns popcorn.

Forget just making popcorn, which turns your work area into a buttery movie-theater. But burnt popcorn on any floor of the building brings upon nasal suffering of 400 works who share the same air.

Rant over.

(Disclaimer: I enjoy ranting.)
