Katie B (HI!!!!) is wise. When we went through our bed bug adventure, we were mainly concerned with the soft stuff. Getting rid of your futon is the main thing. They like fabric and they like body heat. Books and hard furniture aren't their usual haunts.
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

While I find my new officemates most helpful in most work related senses, I've completely lost respect for them as people I'd want to assort myself with.. Not kitten killers, but no inclination to even call them acquaintances. Not my people. Whooboy.
I miss my last officemate.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
thanks Katbee and suzi.
I have literally never seen anything. I've vacuumed and mopped and washed the bedding repeatedly, but I've never seen a bug. just the bites.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Quester, if you never see anything, it could be fleas rather than bedbugs. That's what happened to me when we were given a blanket as a gift from someone with pets. We had the place bombed and the problem completely went away.

I can roll over 120 hours of leave time, but I never manage to use my excess down to that (except in years I had to take time off for clinical depression).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, why is it so hard to get good comfortable walking flats?? The ones I currently have that are the best are years old and totally worn down. I keep trying to replace them, and shoes that feel fine in the store do not hold up to walking a mile! I'm seriously about to get rid of three pairs of newish black flats that I am just giving up on. Annoying!!

I am quite fond of Crocs. Many of the nurses that I work with live in them because they are on their feet all day too. [link]

Cool. It looks like Rouge One will be available for rental this month. I almost saw it when it was in theaters, but it didn't work out. It's a little disturbing that the trailers seem to glorify the terrorists, but I think it will still be a fun movie.

That's a bummer, sarameg.
Good luck quester. I have no advice, but wish you well with all that.
Shoes, so many levels of possible comfort, so few actually good for walking.
