The Rat Whisperer

This is the name I have earned at work...I have been nominated to rid the premises at work of my friends, the rats!  They are ultimately too cheap to hire professional pest control companies, so they put their trust in my abilities as a Wildlife Management person.  My bounty is $2.50 per life...which if you think about it could add up pretty fast...each female rat can have 6-8 babies probably 12 times/year! If there are say 25 females...that would be a total of 2400 rats/year, not counting the males...which would be $6,000.00 for me! But unfortunately it is not so easy...these Norway rats are very resourceful and intelligent. I usually trap several every day for a week or so and then none...they've outsmarted me! I have on several occasions caught two in a trap, in a kissing pose...how sad!  Once, a trap went off, and the screams from all the prissy women, caught my attention...they said a trap had just gone off, and I, not thinking, climbed up the ladder into the roof and saw a horrid sight...a cute little beady eyed furry rat struggling in the trap...pleading, with his eyes,  to set him free, although his back was broken from the powerful SNAP of the trap! I lowered the trap down into the light and immediately started bawling as if I had lost a dearly loved pet...everyone was gathered around wondering why I was in tears..."It's only a rat", they said...but to me it is a living creature with a purpose on this earth, as much, if not more than us inhuman humans. I went a long time without trapping, but now as the population has boomed again, they have called on my "expertise" at catching these furry creatures...lucky me...I sometimes have nightmares about killing them, although I know as a health hazard it should be done, it is no comfort to my bleeding heart where animals of all kinds are concerned!

CHRIS,

REMEMBER THE TIME YOU DREW A FUNNY FACE ON YOUR ASS AND MOONED ME & LAURIE WHILE WE WERE PRACTICING OUR MUSIC? THINKING OF ALL YOUR ANTICS ALWAYS PERKS ME UP...HOPE IT'S GOOD FOR SOME LAUGHS WITH EVERYONE ELSE!!!!


Have you ever noticed while being employed by various employers, whether private companies or governmental entities, that the more air you have in your cranial cavity, or the less willing you are to participate in job related tasks, the more likely you are to be welcomed aboard, and promoted?!!! Our glorious company feels the need to employ citizens, and I use this word loosely, on parole! You may say, "Don't they deserve a second or third, or perhaps "fucktillion" chance?" A resounding NO...in my opinion, these wonderfully profound, laborious, A__ Holes should be left in prison, where ultimately they will end up again anyway!!! Despite the fact that by being in prison they are a waste of good space and air and hard earned tax dollars! They seem to flocculate (a word used by wastewater professionals for the shit scum suspended in liquid) in the warehouse, as if in wait for their next victim...they are leeches on the asses of hard working respectable citizens...sure you may feel sympathy for their plight, perhaps they were beaten by their mothers, and stepfathers, and grandparents, but who gives a rat's ass? Snap out of it, take responsibility for you own life, you are adults now...and find somewhere else to "work"!!

Morning to Chris and all my new xanga friends!! Had a great weekend, although it seemed too short...looked for new cars...have my eye on a Taurus SES or as my boyfriend called it Taurus SEX!!! We found a charcoal grey one with a spoiler...sporty!! We are getting ready for the race this weekend...we live in Hampton, home of the Atlanta Motor Speedway!!! Never really got into racing much, always thought of it as a Redneck Sport, but Aaron's son, Matt, who is 16 is obsessed with it, so I have gradually become smitten with it! We will probably go to the Saturday race, no crowd!!!  there are usually a couple hundred thousand crazies that come to visit us in Hampton every March and now October!! Matt will be camping in the infield with his uncle so he'll be there Fri, Sat & Sun!! Redneck City!! No teeth, lots of tattoos, speech impediments, drunken slurs, sounds like more inbreeding than I can stand!! the people are more fun to watch than the cars! Matt's fav is Dale Jarrett, seems like a nice guy...speaking of redneck, anyone ever heard of Moby? a radio D.J. he used to be on a country radio station in Atlanta but now, lucky for us, he has moved to the classic rock station...UUUGGGHHHHH! Get me outta here!  talk at ya'll later...

you want to hear about my brother...o.k. he is a nut!! an eccentric nut! intelligent as hell...genius would be more like it. he used to get me in sooo much trouble in high school! he was always the class "nut" and i laugh very loud, so needless to say...one day we were walking behind these girls that always wore skirts because of their religion and he farted or burped or something and when they turned around disgusted as hell he pointed to me!! ha ha ain't he something...he could sleep thru every class and make straight A's while I took the notes and studied and was lucky to get a B or C. I think all the info seeped into his head while he was dozed off...he's the sharpest person I know...he was the reason i survived childhood and i am very thankful for the big nut!!
