While not quite biblical proportions, I’ve been accosted with flys in my house this week. For background, you should understand I hate flys. I don’t fear them in the “It’s going to bite me” sense, but I cannot get past the filth they carry and transfer to other surfaces. I can have them land on me when I’m outside (because I’ll wash with soap), I’ve been bitten by Deer Flys (not a fan of THAT), and I am not woozy at the thought of one dining on a turd. I just really really dislike the cooties coming into my domicile and specifically landing on my food and beverages.

I don’t know if it’s El Nino, Global Warming, Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), or an as-yet undiscovered open window; but I’ve swatted ten in a single session a couple of different days, and they keep on coming. I count five in the room now. Is this just me, or is it indicative of a plague being laid upon humans? Update: there are now no flys in the room, I couldn’t stand it and “handled” them.

In other news, I’d like to announce the winner of the first Employee of the Month award. Our recipient hasn’t missed a day since starting, is always ready to try something new, and never fails to bring a smile to the faces of other staff members. Congratulations, Cardiff!

When she’s not being an all star employee, Cardiff enjoys going on long walks, chewing sticks (or anything), zoomies, and rolling in roadkill. Be sure to stop by and congratulate our winner! Just don’t get too close, as she’s selected Organ Meat Treats as her prize, and they’ll produce loose stool and noxious gas for at least three days!
