The Eyes Have It

the flies are out to get me

Friday, July 16, 2010

I've added flies to my growing list of things to watch out for.

There are a ridiculous amount of doors at the food court and every time someone opens a door, a swarm of flies come in. Now, I don't like bugs (I never have and I never will) but flies were nothing more than a nuisance.

That is, until this summer.

I may have gotten a bit too happy with the flyswatter because suddenly it seems as if every single fly is out to get me. I'm either dodging flies shooting at my head or trying to keep my food away from them.

Today, it went to a whole new level though. Now instead of flies coming directly at me, they're aiming at sabotaging me. I was pouring skim milk into a customer's tea when a swarm of flies kamikaze dived into the milk container!

And that is why I am afraid of what the flies will do tomorrow.

(Note: I might have exaggerated a little. A lot. It wasn't really a swarm of flies, more like a fly. And I'm sorry about my crude drawings. I know I suck.)

Oh gosh. I hate flies. And spiders. Mainly spiders. But when a fly flies by me I get a massive case of goosebumps. Ugh. Did your customer eventually want their tea? I'm sorry you had to deal with that pesky fly :( By the way, you don't suck. Just clearing that up. :)

I read your other post - '90's child.' Nostalgia, much? I still remember those butterfly clips... I so wanted one and then when I got one, it went out of style super fast. But they ARE really pretty. I wonder if I still have one somewhere...
