Leave Me Be

 I don't want to be bothered with flies, monsters or lurkers.  Leave me be.  

I'm not sure what the fly status will be.  It seems like once I open the curtains by the kitchen window it'll tell me what the day will bring.  On Monday, it was a swarm.  Yesterday, it was maybe none or maybe three I would have swat at or kill with Zevo.  I had one zooming around me while I worked that I tried swatting at.  I think my mom thought I was doing it to the computer.  There is someone I'd like to hit with a fly swatter if I saw them in person, but no.  I sprayed Zevo by the window near me because it looked like there was one who wanted to get in and it kind of fell over when it got hit by the spray.  Hoping with it not being so hot they may just stick downstairs with the monster.  I showed my mom a picture of PigPen from Peanuts when she asked me what he looked like again.  She said it had the monster's hairline and maybe we should put it on his mailbox.  Sick burn, ma.  Tempting.  

It's amazing how quiet he was with the dogs last night.  It's like almost every night we hear the dogs barking on the porch.  Not last night.  Guessing he got scolded big time by Mr. Landlord.  You know what else would help?  Eviction.  That's a good reason.  PIGS.

And the lurker can just leave me alone. I have never bothered that person once when it has come to their work but it seems like I'm the one she focuses on. I know there's another group that we deal with that I suspect she harasses.  In my group, I seem to be the star attraction. I thought maybe once she got her way with assignments, it would stop.  Isn't that something?  They got what they wanted by pushing me out of the way and I accepted it?  Yeah.  That doesn't sound great.  I always do that with women like her because I want peace of mind.  I want to be left alone.  I've been harassed in this subtle manner for almost 3 years now.  I know I won't get believed.  It won't stop.  I know why it is.  The lurker told me that I had gotten complimented by someone in a meeting they attended.  They brought me up as an example of how well he worked with me and the good flow that we have when it came to work.  Someone told me the same thing.  The lurker seeks attention and recognition.  I seek peace and quiet and nobody harassing me.  What a horrible excuse of a human being.  

I am hoping for a cooler day so I can get out and walk.  I knew I was pushing it with my walk on Sunday morning and I knew it was insane if I even thought about it the last two days. I took the car out last night to Target to get more bug spray and to maybe stretch my legs and get exercise.  Amazing how many steps I can get in stores when I ShopKick.  It's like a treasure hunt finding products and scanning them and getting free gift cards when you get so many points.

If only I could use Zevo on people.  I did use it along the side of the house where the garbage can was located and I did spray the monster's grill.  It's pet friendly.  I like his dogs.  He can go suck eggs.  He's lucky his boots aren't out in the hallway or I would have filled it with bug spray.

What?  You thought my mom was the only one with an edge? 

Good humans have a good day and if you're having a bad week like me, I send out virtual hugs.  It's tough.  Last week was a joyful week filled with hope.  This week is a reminder that reality can really suck.
