La Cucarachas

When I started working in the city a week ago, I was curious about how things worked. When I worked in rural areas I didn't have to navigate around garbage trucks, police, protesters or wild animals. I most certainly didn't think about bugs. If you know me, I am really not a girly girl. I pick up spiders and throw them outside rather than scream and have the hubby kill'em.

So when I started working in the TL everyone kept telling me nicely to watch out for the "bugs". Then, the persons desk that I took over cautioned me to always clean my desk if I ate at it cuz there are bugs, BIG ONES.  I had the pleasure of meeting one face to face a couple of days ago. I had eaten a banana and left the peel on my desk for about a minute until I got up to throw it away. When I picked it up, a cockroach wiggled out. GROSS!!

Then today, I heard a scream from a co-worker. I'm nosey so I asked what happened. She told me she ate a roach?!  For real, how does that happen? Apparently it crawled into her salad and she thought it was a cherry (you know the dried berry salad mixes) and ate it. When it crunched then squished in her mouth, she realized it wasn't a sweet cherry and pulled it out to inspect. NASTY.

I gotta go, I am feeling something crawling on my arm.....
