Today, The Dog Smelled Pretty Bad.

Thomas is schizophrenic. It is mostly under control, but he becomes extremely nervous when a new person enters the office. Management knows this, and is very accommodating. Thomas is bright and a hard worker, they don’t want to lose him. Thomas’ office was moved away from the elevators, and his desk faces a window. Despite these precautions, Thomas still runs into strangers on his floor. When this happens, his heart starts to pound and a voice in his head begins to scream and scream and it will not stop. Thomas must go into the bathroom and sit until the feeling passes. His pay is docked if he is in the bathroom for longer than an hour. This adjustment is at his insistence.
