Is there anything I can do to make my cycling gear smell less after I have arrived at work?



My problem is my baselayer tends to stink. Then I stink when I put it on at the end of the day to get home.



Can just feel the comments from others. Geez what do you expect! Am I suppose to bring my entire wardrobe to work.

I have a similar problem. My cycling shorts and jersey get quite nasty sitting in a locker at work after a sweaty morning commute.



I rinse shorts, jersey (and helmet) in warm water, then them where they can dry during the day. (There is no theft risk where I work.) This helps substantially, although it's only partially effective during the height of summer where I live which is and hot and humid.



I also keep a number of jerseys in rotation so each gets a proper wash after each hot commuting day.

  • Seconded, though I only rinse the damp parts of my gear as they don't dry enough, otherwise. Means I tend to cycle home in slightly damp gear but at least it's fairly clean damp.

Long meetings (6-7 hours a day): Being “babysat” by supervisor

For the last 10-11 months, I am working in a research industry in France where my task is to debug C++ spaghetti code written over a period of several years by my current supervisor. It is a team of 2: just I and my supervisor. Diurnally, I am posed with a "bug of the day" to get out of this C++ code. My supervisor generally gives me about 15-30 minutes to solve it and then accosts me about whether or not the task is completed and then rinses and repeats this until the end of the day.

Confectionery

Prepared foods made with a lot of sugar or other cabohydrates "Sweetmeat" redirects here. For the racehorse, see Sweetmeat (horse). Not to be confused with Sweetbread. This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
