Not me, but my house, and it filled up with an odor I did not recognize. We couldn't breathe. I thought we'd experienced a biological attack or something. Skunk smells much different up close than it does outside on some animal, wafting in.

I had an exterminator come look for the creature, thinking it had to be inside the house, but he never found it.

I didn't really call in sick, I called in late. Very late. I was a teacher at the time, and was late for a parent/teacher/administrator conference with the highly inflammatory mother of one of my difficult students. This did not help with my relationship with either of them.
