I wash the floors of the lab, wipe door handles, Windex small windows, dust baseboards. But I\u2019m not allowed to wash the whiteboards, which line this particular corridor from floor to ceiling. I assume it\u2019s because I\u2019m not qualified to tell the difference between doodles and diagrams, to filter the genius from the gibberish. Or perhaps the lab rats are just sentimental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I left my last job (my \u201creal\u201d job, as I still refer to it) the daily assault had finally become too much. Colours had different smells or tastes, which was often evident by my expression, and numbers jumped off pages and screens. There were boardrooms I avoided because of the artwork. Coworkers were uncomfortable when I would gag at the sight of orange hi-lighter, or swat my hands in front of my face during my own PowerPoint presentations on financial performance. Numbers representing dollars were particularly jabby.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I probably could have managed the synesthesia a while longer \u2013 but I suffer from double vision that had become steadily worse and which baffled the ophthalmologists and neurologists. Once they gave up, I accepted I couldn\u2019t analyze data if I couldn\u2019t see it, and so had reached an end point in my professional career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So now I clean, mopping and wiping and Windexing. Double vision isn\u2019t a hindrance here, since I just have to clean the dirt from both objects in front of me. I\u2019m better at ignoring floating numbers now too, and besides, there\u2019s no one to see me if I unconsciously try to brush them away. But in the corridor outside the laser lab, I don\u2019t bother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the only exciting part of my day, this corridor. The rest is spent with white tile and stainless steel, some black vinyl chairs here and there, and fake oak veneer in the meeting rooms. Black, beige, brown and lots of white. Tasteless, but not in the traditional sense. Layered over everything is the faint odour of bleach from my rag, which serves the dual purpose of both cleaning surfaces and blocking out any other scents that might distract me. The building is the perfect environment for me now, except for this corridor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here, the numbers and symbols float out from the whiteboard\u2019s surface and arrange themselves for me in a dance. They move in an eddy of numeric poetry, some fast, some slow. Some float or bounce and some sink to the ground. Some are sharp and others are a little fuzzy. I\u2019m never sure what I\u2019ll see. Most fascinating, the distance between them can be logarithmic, one farther away from two than eight is from nine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interestingly, the formulae sometimes have a scent, and occasionally a taste. This used to confuse me, smelling something visual, but not anymore. It\u2019s just how the patterns smell, not really who wrote them. I suspect my \u2018nose for numbers\u2019 was what made me so good at my old job, \u2018smelling\u2019 trends and forecasting like a magician. I miss that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As I come around the corner, the numbers start a slow tumble and I smell bacon. Adam wrote these, his current work always smells a bit greasy. But I like bacon days. Naphthalene (Dr. Moustache) and diesel (Socks \u2018N Sandals) not as much. I don\u2019t know everyone\u2019s names. Popcorn is my favourite pattern-scent. It\u2019s Bee\u2019s work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bee opens the lab door while I\u2019m wiping the couch cushions. She has her mug. When she comes back I\u2019m crouched down, dusting the baseboards. I can\u2019t tell if they\u2019re dusty.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She pauses in front of the whiteboard and I hear her pick a pen out of the cup. At the squeak of the marker I turn my head. As usual, I don\u2019t understand what she\u2019s writing but this time it jumps off the board and I lose my balance. The numbers move like a fast river over a waterfall, rushing forward and then slipping down and away. She turns to look at me, sitting on the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAre you alright?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I stand up, but all the numbers that have gone over the waterfall are pooling at my feet and I want to get my mop and push them away. They don\u2019t smell like popcorn. They taste like iron.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I consider her question. Am I alright? There are only two possibilities: yes or no. A or B\u2026 Bee. Why did she write that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWith me? Er\u2026you\u2019re the one who fell over.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYour numbers smell different today. Strange.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cStrange! Wait. What do you mean smell?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDid you change something? Are you working on something new?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her eyes narrow. \u201cWhy would you ask that?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe smell. Of your numbers. It\u2019s different.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She stares at me for a moment and then turns back to the whiteboard. \u201cWhat does this smell like?\u201d The marker squeaks. I smell popcorn cooked in bacon grease in a cast-iron pot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAre you collaborating with Adam?\u201d Her hand freezes. She turns back to face me, eyes wide now.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHow did you know that? Did you see \u2013 did you read our thesis? Do you know what any of this means?\u201d She waves the marker at the formula she\u2019d just written.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNope. I just clean the floors here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She turns and scribbles something else. The numbers march forward. Popcorn and bacon and mothballs. Gross.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDr. Moustache.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She let out a harsh, bark of a laugh. \u201cDr. Everly. I KNEW Adam went to him for help. My god. This is so weird.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s just strangeness.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Hrm.&#8221; She waved at the board again \u201cDo all the numbers have a smell?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt doesn\u2019t work like that. It\u2019s more the\u2026arrangement\u2026of the numbers, which smells.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWill you read our paper? I want to double check Adam didn\u2019t \u2018borrow\u2019 anything else.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI guess. I still don\u2019t think it works that way, but I can try. Can you write it on the whiteboard? I can\u2019t see small fonts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOkay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I sit down on the couch. \u201cAnd can you not use the orange marker? It stinks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1\" style=\"color:#df6523\">About the Author:&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">J M Kinnear does not write for a living, but does enjoy checking out the whiteboard doodles at the IQC in Waterloo, ON.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by J M Kinnear<br \/>\nNovember 30, 2017<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"desc\">There&#8217;s a whiff of something new at the labs today<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"img-box-badge-shortlist\">Shortlisted<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"categ\">Open<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":259,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[21],"class_list":["post-1252","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-entry","tag-fiction-shortlisted"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
