Episode 12
When I went in for my interview for this job last April, one of the questions I was asked was "will you be able to handle the spiders and snakes and rats that are around?" To which I nonchalently replied "yeah, they don't bother me that much." To be truthful, there is nothing that freaks me out more than a snake. The sight of them slithering on the floor makes me shudder. To touch one would be horrific. To that extent, I also cannot stand the sight of worms. I used to tip toe down my driveway on rainy days to make sure my shoes did not touch the worms. My shoes!
Anyhoo, a couple nights ago, I saw the biggest worm ever known to man (or at least, me!) slithering around on my bedroom floor. For tiny worms, I would normally just sweep them outside. But the sight of this worm slithering around made me want to hurl. So I grabbed both my RAID can and my Insect repellent can and totally obliterated the worm with a mixture of chemicals. After a couple minutes of writhing in what seemed like pain, the worm stopped moving, curled into a ball, at which point I calmly swept it outside.
The other thing that makes me frigid is anything slimy. Last night, as I was closing my front door, I saw two big googly eyes staring at me from the top of my door. I honestly thought it was a red fish, and was quite surprised (cause how could it even get up there?) When I opened the door (cause I thought I was going to crush the fish), the FROG! jumped out at me. I must have shrieked pretty loudly, because my guard ran into my house with his machete, yelling "madam! madam!" haha. He must think I'm the biggest wimp ever because the only time I ask him for help is for catching massive spiders :)
