[nagdu] Office with rotten egg smell!

[Daryl Marie]

Good evening, all,

As a bit of a followup to my questions regarding keeping my guide occupied during office hours in the absence of places to go or sunshine to bask in, Friday brought about an interesting wrinkle.
I got in to work, and the whole office building smelled like rotten eggs. The gas company was called to determine the source of the smell, but so far as I know the source was not identified.  The likelihood is that either we have a mold problem (possible) or a dry sewer line (also possible).  About two weeks ago, I could smell what I can only describe as a smell like wet concrete. There was no rain or other moisture to bring about that smell, it lasted a couple days, no one else could smell it, and the smell went away.

Jenny has always been happy to leave a workplace and go home or do whatever we're doing for the rest of the day, but at this office building, it is extreme.  She will literally nearly drag me from the building (nearly every day since we started work), and she is reluctant to locate the office door either in the morning or when we come back from relieving. On Friday, she was generally edgy, scratching herself, barking, so out of control to leave the building after work that she was literally bouncing and running to the door, and her walk to the bus stop was a complete distracted mess.

I am seriously concerned about the health implications of this smell, both on humans and dog. We've had several staff members with allergy symptoms, headaches, etc., over the past two months. I know that seasonal allergies are a concern for some of us, so they could be quite easily masking underlying issues, but I'm pretty freaked out...

Before anyone asks, her water comes from the bottled water that we get delivered regularly, not from the tap...

Thoughts?
