They're painting the halls and it smells!

I work in an office, here is my cube.  They are painting the walls in the building.  Holy stink!!  We don't have windows that can open.  I would like to NOT be smelling the paint!  We use all no-VOC paint at home.  Am I overreacting by wanting to NOT be here right now while they are painting??  What would you do?

Re: They're painting the halls and it smells!

  • If it wasn't a big deal (like I wouldn't get docked pay/sick day or something) I'd probably go work from home.  If it is a big deal, I'd just stay. I work really hard to keep chemicals out of my life but realistically I accept that I breathe in things like car exhaust and whatnot in spite of my best efforts.

  • Hehe, it IS the first nice sunny day we've had all week....  I moved my computer to another location with a door and I will stay here for a bit longer.  DEFINITELY heading out early though.  I know I can't control much about the environment but the smell is nauseating!!
