GROSS-OCITY!

Houston, we have a problem. There is a problem in the store with creepy crawlies. I am not a fan of bugs and there are some disgusting creatures in the shopping center where we are. We have to leave our doors open, so that doesn't help. We get spiders the size of bison and tonight we had 2 of the most ginormous mosquitos I have ever seen. Of course we have no bug spray, so I drown anything I see with Glade! Every morning we go on a safari to get the dead mosquitos and flies out of the showcases. Yellow jackets buzz around our heads and in the showcases. I imagine after we have a frost, the problem will subside until next year, but until then it is gross. I want to run out screaming when I see the spiders, but I have to be the leader and I have to be the brave soul that hunts them down. ICK.
When I managed the Pfaltzgraff store, we had an even worse problem, since we were closer to some woods. We had snakes in the store twice, frogs, spiders the size of Montana, geese flew in and left calling cards (poop!!) and a bird that landed in a pot! And the day I saw a mouse in the backroom, I called in back-up since I refused to enter the backroom after that!
Maybe tomorrow I will wear a pith helmet to work! Oh yeah, another thing I have to buy!!!!
Until next time...goodnight!

That's funny Cher! Haunting memories of bugs! Today, there must have been 25 flies that ended up lying on their backs on top of the showcases! They must be looking for the heat of the lights and pass out there!
