Who You Gonna Call? BugBusters?

Well, after a quarter-moon of chilling out, exploring Aberdeenshire and fun with Groupie, it's back to work, back to reality - and back to my sleeping pattern being completely out of sync with everything. I could blame the clocks changing last Sunday morning, but not sure how a one hour time difference could throw me this much. I was dozing for a while yesterday evening and ended up staying at least semi-awake the entire night, admitting defeat about 03.00 as I got up and mainlined coffee in a bid to be fit for work. Not much else to do at that time and in that state but leave comments on blogs and mess around with YouTube playlists, and you'll perhaps notice I've changed the tracks at the bottom of the blog. I've also added another in the sidebar which will show trailers from films I've recently seen. I'm not sure a window that small works, but it's a lot easier to add things to a playlist than mess with the text in a sidebar every time I see a movie...

I did manage to get through the working day OK - quite easily as it happens - but had to fall asleep for a "quick snooze" to recharge about 16.00 or so, and when I woke up, I found six hours had passed...

While the coffee orgy was going on this morning I found an enormous bug of some sort climbing up my shower curtain. This was my second invertebrate visitor of the last 24 hours, following on from a spider which rather freaked Groupie out when it came a-calling. I'm not sure why the bugs are coming to visit right now, maybe it's because I tend to keep my house at a constant 25-30 degrees Celsius, and the bugs are looking for something warm to come to when nights are cold and lonely.... hang on, that's Tammy Wynette, isn't it?

But I didn't intend to stand by my bug, so it was time to quickly grab my bugbuster, which does actually look a bit like something Bill Murray and the gang would use. It's a small vacuum cleaner type thing with a long clear tube for collecting the bugs you find around the home - although I can't imagine it's a nice experience for the bug, it doesn't kill them - just collects them inside the tube, and you can then take the bug outside and release it in more natural surroundings. I've had the thing for years and it works exceedingly well.

I wish it was so easy to get rid of the pests at work. It's that interview tomorrow... pif.
