As I sat in my office today working, blood curdling screams came from down the hall in place of the rather loud chatter that had been filling the air seconds before. I paused, wondering what had happened, and cursed under my breath about the rather loud mouth of the wench screaming. Almost every day she comes in, I get to listen to her phone conversations because she is the loudest human being on Earth. It's not like we have neighboring cubicles. We each have actual offices and her office is two down from mine. Anyway, I digress. After a few seconds, she loudly pleaded for me to come down to her office. When I stepped into the doorway of her office, she was sitting on her knees in her chair quivering in fright at a bug on the floor. Granted, this bug was a pretty big cockroach that obviously wanted a little A/C, but she was acting like it was a mouse ready to run up her pants. The bug was alive but barely moving while she sat about 8 feet away cringing. I scooped the bug up on some cardboard and took him outside where he probably melted in the heat. I've never seen anyone react like that to a bug. You'd think a serial killer just stepped out from behind the door the way she screamed. Had that been a mouse, I wonder if she'd be in the hospital now with a heart attack.

This week's Mouthin' Off is Maggie Don't Two-Step from Cowboy Mouth's Word of Mouth CD. This version is sung by Paul although Rob used to sing it when he was with the band. Nothing against Sonia, Mary or Regina, but I miss Rob. He has always had a friendly demeanor and had a funny ants in his pants dance. Anyway, enjoy and have a good weekend.
