seeeriiiooously. ICK.
This is the second time I've been left to deal with a _known_ disaster while someone says, "I can't _not_ go!" ...on a vacation.
The boarding for those dogs will be at least 2K. I wonder how much cutting the vacation short would have cost.
The owner, who doesn't like to displease anyone, feels bad because we are known for being superheroes. There is a difference between being heroic and enabling foolish decisions.
The dog owners should be aware that endangering the health of their contracted employees opens them up for a *lot* of lawsuit should the dog walkers (heaven forbid) contract a disease from the house or the dogs. Getting the dogs out of the environment, further, treating the dogs prophylactically for both hanta and lepidoptera--not just to protect the humans that have contact with them, but for the dogs' own health--should be the next priority.
Yeah, the vacation is going to cost them a lot more than if they'd stayed home and taken care of things. How could they have been *living* in a home with visible evidence of rat infestation, and not acted before now? Humans, I swear.
This nasty cold I have started off a few weeks ago as a sneeze, and then morphed into coughing and chest congestion. Now, the cough is finally getting better, but I'm sneezing again. WTF, body? IOmemeN, I need to find the spoons and the motivation to go to Trader Joe's today so that I can actually cook dinner tonight, something I have seriously sucked at getting done the last few weeks.
A visible rat infestation doesn't just
happen
one day. Those people should have taken care of the rat problem the minute it started. It's obviously been going on for a while. What if the dogs are infected? What if the humans are infected? This is hugely irresponsible of them, and you and your company
are
being superheroes by taking care of it for them. Which is probably what they intended, when they left.
sj, could it be allergies? mine have been bad - a lot of sneezing and coughing and gritty eyes.
Toddson, it probably is, I'm just done with feeling lousy. It's also damp and cold today, so possibly mold allergies.
I have giant drag queen fake eyelashes. And a LOT of makeup! It was fun, though, you know, I'm a dork and felt self-conscious about posing and then I worried about my buddha belly and 10 chins and general fat face. Because I'm me. But I'm overall glad I did it.
I won't have photos for 3-4 weeks, so here are 2 selfie sneak previews: Schoolteacher and Homemaker. (Seriously, the homemaker hair looks way better than it does in the fluorescent light of the selfie.)
The homemaker one could double as nice, sexy librarian ... it's the glasses.

Those are my Felicity Smoak glasses. But I think I left them on for the shoot. For the schoolteacher outfit, I wore black cat's-eye glasses (which had no lenses, which was fine, because these drag queen eyelashes hit my real glasses).
