A few days after informing a new person about my condition, when he or she begins to feel more comfortable around me, the conversation will inevitably steer towards jobs that I, with my inability to smell, could perform more easily than an olfie:

  • Why don’t you apply for a job at The Perfume Factory?
  • You could be a garbageman, man!
  • You should work at a zoo! That’d be awesome dude! You could totally clean up after them!

Sometimes, though, the conversation steers the other way. And the other person becomes saddened by my career limitations:

  • Oh no, you could never be policeman, or a fireman!
  • Wow, it’d be hard to be a chef with no sense of smell. How would you know when something was burning?
  • Dude, you couldn’t be a narc! Hey, what are you doing Friday?

Well, now is your time all you olfies. List any other professions that you’d think an anosmiac could handle better than you could. Go nuts!
