Short version of day thus far:

Midol + Peppermint mocha = very awake ow. >.> Bugger.

Also, the class prez has decided the best way to fix the schedule woes that have popped up in the last couple days is to start tomorrow at 8am. So. Guess I don't get tomorrow off like the schedule has been promising for weeks.

More bugger.

But! Y. pestis lecture today. And here I thought the Anthrax lecture was the best ever. That was fun. I'm gonna miss Bacteriology.

Once a setter came into the shelter with ticks. No one managed to tell me this, as they 'killed' all the ticks before I came into work.

In this case, 'killed' means 'removed and thrown into the garbage'. You could hear me shrieking a mile away when I found one crawling about on my arm during lunch break.

...

That one died.

AUGH AUGH AUGH.

*coughs, clears throat*

AUGH.

Right. Yes. I am reminded of a time that I went hiking in the Minnesota woods. I practically bathed in insect repellent before I set foot out of the car, which happy chance did keep the ticks from biting.

It did not, however, keep them from looking for a place to bite. Ticks. Crawling. Everywhere.

I still don't know how I managed to keep from screaming.

It was a very near thing. Very near.

(I know there are ticks in this state as well. Some stupidly high number of species. But I have NEVER SEEN ONE here in the 11 years I've lived here and gone hiking and camping and all, and I am FINE WITH THAT. I use repellent, o'course -- and altitude and dryness are glorious, glorious things.)

*nods* I know they are here too, but other than the one time with that dog... and a cat that came in, that was gross, but other than that, I've never seen one here.

*knocks on wood*

Also?

Frontline, Advantage, and Advantix.

*nods fervently*
