Photocopy Hell

I met our new HR gals today, and I really liked them... up until they asked me to photocopy 20+ staff personnel files.

:o(

Bad day.

Still have my sore throat and snot streaming from me at any given opportunity... bleurgh.

AND, everyone I've asked to be in contact with on Skype has ignored me! (except Liam, but I went in to his Skype sign in and said 'yes, I want to be Merriol's friend', ha).

I forgot yesterday to say that whilst lying in bed yesterday morning, wishing it was my day off, I heard Holly and Daisy coming up stairs.

"Hold on and keep him lifted up, Daisy"
"OK"
"Mummy, we've got a poorly snake"
"mmmpgh"
"He's been stung by a scorpion"
"mmmpgh mmmpgh"
"He's been stung twice on his head and once on his stomach"
"(sympathetic) mmmpgh"
"Daddy's the vet, he's going to make him better"
"great"
"Come on Daisy, let's take him to Daddy"
"Holly holding his head and tummy, me holding his bottom, hahahahahahahahahah"

Such are the conversations in our house at 8am. The snake in question was a piece of coloured wool, and you may be pleased to know he made a full recovery.

My friend Raven recently came home from Guatemala and found a Scorpion in her suitcase. She named it "Pinchy" and recently found a cockroach at a local cafe (she named it Crunchy). Thus, Pinchy had her first American meal, which she ate like corn on the cob.

She's doing a lot better energy wise, but communication is difficult as she still only speaks Spanish. Luckily Raven is pretty fluent in Spanish, and understood Pinchy's request to 'pass the salt'

oh no... sorry for being scorpionist but I really don't like them (although I'm sure Pinchy is very cool).
