From The University of St. Thomas, This Is Fresh Air
Today is the day that prospective students tour the dorms at St. Thomas; so, we have done our best to get the building ready for all the visitors: taking shoes out of the hall, removing trash, cleaning up rooms for tours. The whole idea is for Cretin to put its best foot forward to those who might be living here some time soon.
Dan, never an RA to “half-a” something, went all-out and purchased an air freshener for his floor. Now, this may have been to bring the floor smell up to an average above-toxic-dump olfactory level, though it may have been to edge out other floors in attracting prospective residents (Hey, we’re second floors - fewer stairs and less odor!). That said, Dan plugged in a Glade™ PlugIns™ Scented Oil Fan, loaded it up with Rainshower™ scent (I’m not kidding about the registered trademark signs, check out the Glade website), set the thing on high (maybe they don’t call it “high” … maybe just “mega fresh” or “holy cow! it’s fresh!”), and went about his business. Two hours later, up here on fifth floor, I left my room to go to dinner and immediately smelled a fresh rainforest scent in nostrils. Could it be? Yes, the air freshening power permeated three floors up Cretin Hall, down the hallway to my room at the corner of the building.
Nothing but the finest for second floor.

I knew I was leaving the floor and the building in good hands. Good work from a good man.

Man Alex,
I was so hoping this was a post with your opinions on the teachers who didn't go on a field trip because they weren't married and couldn't sleep together. And to think, I read it first in St. Thomas paper with quotes from BD, and now I'm reading it in the Star Trib and Pioneer Press…
When will people realize, some people believe some things are wrong, and they have a right to believe it if they own and run the school.
I suppose that was off topic for this post. Maybe I should mention something that this morning I walked into the MSA server room, and it smelled like something was burning. Turned out the Water Heater had a problem, not one of my computers, but non the less… Always interesting to encounter a smell.
Just to ask… 3 floors? That's either a lot of Glade, OR the smell was on your shirt.

I had to post this as well: The google ad's are getting a little weird on this topic. Although Glade made the list, so did Fishy Vaginal Odor's…
