while they fix our building's roof.
This sucks. Now I am closer to that passive aggressive personality...

Plus, I can't post 500 times a day here!
:P

3. you can scare 'em off.
Seriously. Stop bathing. Immediately. Same with the tooth-brushing and the shaving. And no more underwear changing. That'll get you the smell thing working in your favor.

You also need to try to have some random and inexplicable outbursts while seated at your desk. Throw stuff and yell. At nothing. And if you can, have a co-conspirator you can get to call you on the phone, so you can scream obscenities at them and threaten to kill 'em and stuff. That'll get the office-mate a little scared.

Good luck.

I'm not actually in the same office as her,
she is around the corner though.

I'm sure she wants to 'check up' on me

6. Yes! It works for the Germans
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20041117/od_uk_nm/oukoe_odd_germany_odours&e=2

BERLIN (Reuters) - Germans find smelly co-workers to be the most annoying aspect of their jobs, according to a survey by the German business magazine Junge Karriere.



The survey found 38 percent of German office workers were "most bothered" by the smells of their colleagues, 15 percent said they were annoyed by co-workers socialising too much, and 14 percent by untidy desks.

That seems like a long time to fix a roof.

they are pulling out a skylight/sunroom type of thing that will leave a 30' by 15' hole.
That's gonna take a while

9. Well you can always eat
chilli or baked beans a couple of times a week. Eventually your office mate will request to be moved! :)
