Intensive monitoring of the late B supergiant Rigel's optical continuum linear polarization over the 1984 - 1985 observing season reveals episodes of substantially enhanced aperiodic activity. Different activity episodes are centered in different sectors of the circumstellar envelope. These activity episodes are a manifestation of temporally and spatially variant mass loss. Localized disturbances originating at or below the stellar surface are suggested as the root cause of the polarization variations.
