...and no, I don't mean Woods.

There's what smells like a dead mouse somewhere in our ventilation system at work. It is simply awful. My nose is claiming a hostile work environment, and my stomach (which carries some weight around here) concurs. :p

As a result, I may have to request leave to go home and simulate some sporting event in the wonderfully-smelling comfort of my den.

Maybe the Giants Super Bowl hopes crawled up there and died?

Had this happen at home once, terrible. Searched everywhere we could get to without ripping things apart and never found anything. The stench lasted over a week...

Follow up:

Maintenance investigated and tracked the odor to the air handling unit in a utility closet adjacent to my office. A possible suspect is the drain (we've had an issue with janky-smelling drains in other areas in the building - they dry out and get REALLY FUNKY). They poured several gallons of bleach water through to rinse it. We'll see what effect that has. My nose is still in shock so I can't make the call yet on whether it worked.

You're telling me... I can smell over here in Clayton.
