the plague has arrived

Saturday, July 15, 2006

Ok, not really The Plague, but it may as well be.

I’m talking about mosquitos.  They’ve been plaguing the building at work.  Yuck.

I’ve killed several over the last couple of weeks, and building management claims they’re getting some exterminators out to take care of it.

In the meantime, we were asked to do a few things to help eliminate them.  You know, the usual, don’t leave standing water around, don’t hold the exterior doors open, the usual stuff.

But then they added this:

Remove any live plants from your work area.

Um.  Wha?

Sorry, but I’ve never known live plants to be the culprit when it comes to attracting mosquitos.

Ahem.  People attract mosquitos, dummies!  They could give a shit about plants!!  Except male mosquitos, but those don’t bite!!  These things dive-bombing our heads?  Those are females, and they only drink blood.  Humans = food to them.  NOT plants!

So by that logic, we should be removing ourselves from the office.  No food source? No mosquitos!

Hmm. I don’t think that will go over well, though.
