ACK!
what a crappy day at the office! 3 of us were witness to the biggest, most terrifying cock roaches you've ever seen in your whole life. not only were the two of the them HUGE, they FLEW! that's right, those bastards had wings. oh god, the thought. it was awful, but rather comedic.

it was me, corinne and matt. 3 complete wusses when it comes to roaches. i can deal with bugs. i can. but roaches are a whole other story. what is it about them? maybe the fact that they will still be here when the human race dies? that you can never kill them on the first or second swat? that they are just nasty nasty beings? i don't know. but they scare the shit out of me.

matt managed to swat at the first one with a magazine, trap it under a container and take it outside. there was a man with a hose on the sidewalk and we asked him to drown the fucker. after spraying for 3 minutes, it was still squirming! finally a nice brave man came over and stepped on it a good 5 or 6 times and it died.

when we came back inside, 5 minutes later, corinne screamed again and we saw number 2. same drama. matt with the magazine, the thing scurrying away and then me with the container, trapping it and taking it outside. no hose this time so we just put it in a drain and prayed it never made it's way back in our office.
YUCK! all roaches of the world must die!
