Let me lay the foundation here by starting with, My name is Lynn and I have severe arachnophobia. And I don't mean the funny kind; I mean the "I'll punch you in the face if you mess around with it" kind. Seriously.
So, with that out of the way... A few days ago I brought a spider home from work. I don't think that his hitching a ride in the laptop compartment of my work bag suggested any type of teammate initiative, so I screamed...exactly like a little girl I think and ran away. This was before I decided that, only because I was the only person in my house, I would have to kill it. I know, I know, but seriously there is NO WAY I could create a way that I could "take it outside"; I mean really with all those chances to hop on my arm!
Anyway, I managed to get rid of that one.
Fast forward to this morning where I opened my gym bag which I zipped up yesterday at the gym after changing into my gi....and, gah, a huge spider jumped out. Seriously, I don't think it was jumping *at* me, but for christ's sake, really?!?
Now I have 2 gym bags, one laptop bag, and a couple other items drying from having their "floor touching" surfaces drenched in spider killer. And, I'll be finding higher surfaces at work and the gym to store my bags. Here's to the carcinogens in Ortho Home Defense. Next step is to spray the cubicle at work. I'm stopping short of a spider bomb just because I don't think my team would appreciate it.
I really should just see a professional...psychiatrist that is.
