Spider

*Note* due to not having any brain power this post is late. Sorry*

I have been up late trying to get things done for Christmas for the last 5 days. I'm talking bed times of 1 am or later and up at or around 7 am. I am what most people refer too as exhausted.

I can feel it. Most of the time I'm tired, and I don't feel it. Now, I feel it in my eyes. They have that staring out at things for too long feeling. The slightly warm glazed over feel. My brain is mush. I had one co-worker tell me I sounds like I'm on drugs. Slurring words and stopping in mid thought and sentence. As we all know, I don't do drugs. Plus, because of work, I just took a pee drug test(moving positions/companies inside of the same company. Our structure confuses me. I am just happy I'm not in the tax department)

As I'm sitting in a team meeting, functioning the best I can, it comes to my turn to talk about whatever concerns me. As I talk about boring office randomness that only happens in corporations when I feel a tickle on my neck. I assume it was a loose hair on my neck. I brushed it away, the ticket stopped. Forward about 5 minutes and now I'm warm. I remove the jacket that I was wearing and put it on my lap. That is when I noticed my little stowaway.

Sitting right there a spider on my jacket. My response, just throw the entire jacket over my head and onto the floor behind me. Needless to say, there was  laughter and a slow fuzzy brain of acknowledgement from me.

My jacket laid on the floor until the meeting ended. I looked in every pocket, flipped the jacket inside out more than once and found no 8 legged friend.

Lesson learned, sleep more and always smack tickles on your neck, don't assume they are stray hairs.

Has anyone else been attached by a spider while at work? If so let me know with a comment below. Thanks!
