But I’m working a lot lately. Yes, it’s the fourth of July, and yes, I did have plans, but I have to work in less than an hour. Every day this week, Kayla’s been getting the maternity floor and I’ve been getting the floor which inhabits an old man who calls out your name and then screams at you because he wants a piece of cake. What’s better? Babies(!) or inescapable old grumpy man? ... I’m scared!

I loveeee this one. I don’t much like how the picture was blurred, but this place is gorgeous, especially at night. I think I’ve always been a little partial because my grandfather helped build it. It’s a more modern take on something that looks like it was built over 100 years ago.
They keep showing up where I would least expect them, perhaps it’s why they scare me so much. This time I went to find internet connection… So I found a free table with internet wires (apparently not wireless) and connected it. I opened my screen just a few minutes ago, and the first thing that pops up is a SPIDER crawing from around the side and onto my keyboard.
Where the hell did it come from…?! I just GOT here.
Anyway, of course this occurred near other people. My reaction is to jump out of the way and scream. I’ve been doing this since I was 10 years old and it’s not changing. I can see myself being a 90-year old woman jumping out of her rocking chair (with the smelly cats on my lap) because a spider just made its’ special appearance.
And that will be the death of me. Little bastards!
They say confronting your fear is the way to beat it… I can’t see myself ever doing this. Isn’t there a way to immediately banish all spiders within 100 feet of me at all times? Can’t I get a power like this?
