Do you wear deodorant?

Nope.

People get their own feelings hurt if you LOOK at them wrong, let alone actually say something to them that would mean they are offensive in any way.

Ever notice that most people can't tell another person that they have broccoli in their teeth, or that they have toilet paper hanging off their foot? What makes you think that anyone actually CARES enough to tell you that you are offensive to their sense of smell? When I worked with a lot of software engineers we would ask MANAGERS to say something to their employees about SOAP. This was because most were from other countries where the idea of soap was foreign...

I wear it but if I didn't work outdoors I wouldn't need it (but would probably still wear it just incase). I do not sweat easily (infact I freeze in 60 below temps). But between working outdoors for 8 hours and then having to sit in a classroom until 10:30pm some nights I have no choice.

It does suck when you do stink, you can smell it, and you know everyone can sure as hell smell you. Then again I dont' really give a fuck if they do.

I always wear it, but I admit that over the past year of 'working from home' I had become way too much of a scuzzy slob & just throwing on deodorant in lieu of a shower too often. Telling myself it didn't matter since I wasn't going out anyway, and not giving a crap about my hygiene or appearance - and thoroughly failing to consider how it affected the one who it mattered to most of all.
Ah well, it's good to be out of that rut & not be a stinky/scruffy boy anymore - and wearing deodorant to keep myself from getting stinky, not cover it up.

If youre sharing a spot in my cabin you damn well better bring some deodorant

Don't worry man, that was a bad yet easily-corrected habit which I fell into temporarily - part of the whole 'limbo' thing.
I might even put on some cologne, just for you!

Ok now thats a problem

I kinda get into those ruts as well if I am off for a few days and am not doing anything. plus working the overnights now the dresscode is kinda lax so I get away with shaving like once a week. I could prolly skip showering too but if there arent any homeless people around they would figure out its me

Yeah, nothing wrong with 'bumming it' occasionally - but no good when it turns into a constant routine!

Nothing a little self- hasn't fixed though!

If I dont forget. I dont care what a company says, no deodorant last all day. Take their time and divide it by 2 or 3.

always.

Sppedstick antiperspirant seems to work well beyond 24 hours, but I still apply it daily in the summer.(Winter I use deoderant)
