so i'm in phoenix today for a training that i am helping with. when i first walked in a feint smell reminded me of Tap Plastics -- a store that sells custom cut plastic materials.

the hotel is having it's pool repainted, and a heavy air full of plastic has settled into the hotel. the paint must be basically plastic waterproof and very toxic. walking outside around the pool leaves one light headed and faintly nauseous. the guys painting are not even wearing masks. they probably get used to it.

it's going to be a hellish couple days if the smell keeps up. we're not all different from the frogs stuck in heated water who don't notice they are being boiled.
