Amateur Rat Disposal Unit

Yesterday, around 5.30 at the office we noticed a smell. At first it was just noticeable, so we thought "nah... couldn't possibly be...". As the hours progressed the smell of death permeated the entire room giving us headaches. Me who couldn't stand not telling my friends about my mundane life, texted them about the situation in the office. Nah, I wasn't really expecting a reply coz most 'em ignore me and my weirdness. However, people never cease to amaze me because some unexpected ones popped up. Anyway, one reply said "Find where the smell is the strongest and you'll find it there. What is your janitor doing anyway?" or words to that effect. Another reply said, "You better stay outside of the office as it's not good for your health to be inhaling such smell." It's actually touching that a person is concerned about my health. Still another reply said, "The smell of sh*# is actually better as it disappears soon enuff...". Yah he's actually right.

Feeling that something had to be done, an officemate and I went about the building floors looking for a dustpan and a broom (the janitors are notorious in leaving their cleaning materials in any corner of the building). We finally found one at the 4th floor, gosh. I thought this officemate was brave enough to remove the vermin but no, she left screamin her lungs out. Well... I was actually screaming my self in the attempt to place the dead rat in a plastic bag (geez nothing else was around) just to release the feeling of ickiness.

You know how long rats tails can get right? That was the difficult part in the dead rat disposal business. I coudn't quite place him snugly in the bag because of the tail. Luckily another officemate was daring enough to help me bag the guy but the burden of actually transporting the thing to somewhere was upon me. It was really ewww because the smell and the tail was jutting out. So was I able to eat afterwards? Sure after thoroughly washing my hands with soap and finishing off with alcohol. Hey, I didn't touch the guy. Ok?

What did I learn from that? Initiative = guts. Hehehe. Actually, I was thinking only of my self... Since I was going to be coming in early the next day, I didn't want to experience that horrible smell first thing in the morning. That is enough to ruin an entire day.
