You're lucky my cell phone camera is broken!

My skin is crawling, peeps!

Part of my job includes receiving boxes of faulty equipment from customers all over the world. Sometimes they come in and have bird shit on them but today, when I opened the box, there were spiders crawling all over the place. I shrieked , and then I grabbed my tape gun and taped the box back up. The box came from Ontario. At least it wasn't from some African or Asian country, but STILL! Spiders! (stops typing to scratch knee)

(OMG, is there one in my hair?)

After safely kicking moving the box as far away from my office as possible, I called up The Equipment Coordinator guy, oh ya, you guys remember him. He's the dink that started the flip flop war with me a couple of times (But I won! Na-na-na-boo-boo.). Well, wouldn't ya know it, he's also the bird feces cleaner, the blood wiper upper, and the crawly spider remover guy. (I won't even tell you about the blood, cause that's just sick yo.)

ohgrossIcantstopscratching!

Anycrap, he comes upstairs and I point at the infectious material. He tells me I'm a quick thinker for taping it back up so quickly. Uh, whatev..I could care less about everyone else here, but seriously, there ain't gonna be no spiders on ME! (Love me some grammar!)

Well, he just returned 5 mins ago, with this little vile filled with 54 6 spiders! They were still alive. He plucked them out with his tweezers and put them in a container.

The unit in question has been sprayed with bug killer into the connectors and is now sitting outside in -20C. He will have to bring it in later and open the unit up to see if there are more inside. I think this is weird, the unit came from Ontario..so its cold there too, right? I'm sure it was cold at some point in its shipping process also. SO WHY WERE THEY STILL ALIVE?
