Damn... DonkeyMagic beat me by a few seconds. I suspect parents tell their scared children not to be afraid of the bug because it's not a roach, it's just a palmetto bug or a water bug, and that they say this to get the kid to not be afraid of the bug. Then those children grow up to be know-it-all adults who work in call centers....
speaking of which, that same damn roach/palmetto bug/paratrooper is still dead and crushed by my desk. is the cleaning crew intentionally leaving that b*stard there? i guess i could scoop him up myself, but he gives me inspiration. he died in the line of service...i'm still going...
well they do feed us A LOT over here: free pizza hut on mondays free marble slab on wednesdays free chick-fil-a on wednesdays everyday free chips, candy and soda no wonder there's a lot of fat, lazy, loud obnoxious women here. frost bank: "we're from here".
the chatterbox has started again. this is ridiculous. if this is still the case when i come back from lunch, i'm going to have to take things into my own hands. i'm serious. a well placed STFU may be coming.
Is strangling somebody the same thing as choking somebody? Stangling sounds like something a high class executive would do to kill some1, yet chocking souds like something the average joe would do if it wanted to kill someone in that manner.
why don't throw the dead bug into one of the big mouths.. two birds with one stone.. or if you're lucky, the one who got it will reactively spit it out and go into the other big mouth..
You should contact Mike Judge and start writing the script for Office Space II. I think the script would write itself from what you are describing. Either that or you should email your experiences to Scott Adams because he might just use them in his Dilbert comic strip.
thank god. time for lunch. i'm going to go apply for a FT position in a different department. wish me luck....
I live near Beaumont and there are lots of bugs at night outside. My dogs like to catch and eat the "june bugs", there are lots of small toads, tree frogs, small lizards with the spikey hide, and regular chameleon lizards. I have to throw the toads over the fence because when my small dog bites or licks them -she throws up foam from a toxin on the skin. I was sitting in a lawn chair recently when a big roach dropped down in my lap from the patio gutter. I'm sure I screamed like a school girl I was so surprised- I made the comment to my hysterically laughing wife that I was glad roaches do not bite. My wife called me a p*ssy..... I could not live in the country - to many small animals to deal with.....
