Welcome to My Holland Hugs: Random stuff from work part 2

Bugs: My co-workers from hell have a sick sense of humor. Over the past 5 years (that’s how long I have been working at this *cough* job), have taken some rather sick pictures of things they find out in the yard. I will save you the graphic nature of some of these pictures, but they have been known to be such things as dead possums, birds, black widows that one worker had caught in a plastic bottle, then froze to see if they would come back to life (no they don’t, only fly’s do that) flattened kittens, road kill dogs, and some very nice/odd art work on train cars and yes bathroom locations in the yard. We have these and many more pictures saved on the drive at work…thinking of making a calendar out of them…Odd things “OUR COMPANY” Finds While Working in the Yard. Think it will catch on?

Well back to why I started this, last week I was sitting here working when I was looking at the screen then just happened to look down and saw something move near my foot. Now the last time I saw something move near my foot it was a small field mouse that was looking for food…that wasn’t the case this time around. No, I wish it was as that must after it have me a heart attack was really kinda cute. No this was the biggest BUG I have ever seen. I made me jump so far back that I thought I was dreaming when I saw the size of it again. It had to be and I kid you not, 2 inches long, if not longer (its size, which may reach 2-inches in length). Now I have had 3 things scare me while at work so far, a spider that was tormenting me, later I found out it was some kind of jumping spider with a blue face on its back), the mouse and now this giant bug Called the Jerusalem Cricket. I sent the text to my sister, boss and Hollands Daddy to see if someone could possibly tell me what kind of horrific thing I was dealing with. While waiting (curled up on my chair watching it from a distance) I noticed 2 things, nothing tossed at it scares it but sunlight does. It walked around the whole booth trying to get away from this very thin line of sun that was trailing in the doorway. I figured ok, I need to get it out and fast. The thing tried to get into my bag! I was freaking out, how do I get it out?????? Ok, bathroom has a broom…runs to bathroom, gets broom…check phone still no text back…where did bug go? Shit! Ok, there it is behind microwave cart.

Wait for bug to come out; tries to get itself trapped by door…dumb ass bug go away already! Walks out from door, slide door open as fast as it can, hit with broom, hit again and again, push it outside…dang it’s on the sidewalk, nooooo don’t go back in the booth…hit it again into the driveway…ok bug in the street on its back. Hmm it’s not moving, did the sun kill it? Watch it for a minute, OMG IT’S MOVING! Back on its legs, stops, looks around, starts walking towards cars…NO!! Ok, so now this bug, yes I took pictures of this huge thing, is not walking in the sun that it tried to escape from the booth. My sister finally texts me back and tells me that it’s some kind of Jerusalem Cricket that co-worker from hell (at night) found and put in the booth to scare co-worker from hell (day) only the bug didn’t listen and came out before I had to go home so she could find it. Stupid bug! STUPID PEOPLE! I hate people that try to scare other people with bugs! IT’S A BIG, PEOPLE FIND THEM ALL THE TIME, DOESN’T MEAN WE WANT TO SAVE THEM FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO FIND! Yes I will be posting pictures of everything I have mentioned this this blog.
