Work, Home and Cockroaches

Since Daniel moved back in, the apartment looks like a white goods warehouse. The dining room is full of washing machines and fridge freezers that hes fixing and selling and im now working from home for the next 2 weeks at least so im sat in the dining room with them. For all i moan about the place being a mess its good fun because there is such a lot of activity, its amusing to see whats going on. The guys from work are going to America surposedly for work but they are actually going sking. Brendan my boss is going to be away for a month and Nick who helps me is away for 10 days and even then we will probably not work at the office as we both live on the other side of the bridge from where work is.

Today whilst working, I had Daniel and Mark(English guy with the scraggiest hairdo) in and out with washing machines. Daniel being only able to use 1 arm does mean that Mark has to bare the brunt of most of the weight :-). Gustavo who likes to go in the shower for about an hour, i reckon he actually goes in longer then i go in the bath. Frederick who is bored when its bad weather and is off to church to do some voluntary work. (Simon said Fred asked us if we would like to go to Church on Sat night, Simon said eh no we are busy :-) ). The 2 slovakians (no idea the names) came back and just looked at me strangly and nodded and walked past me into there little room. They are leaving in a couple of weeks which means Daniel will go into their bedroom, yipppeeee and hopefully the living room will not be full of Daniels clothes.

I forgot to mention on the previous blog that the party we went to meant we started drinking from 10.30 so thats why we ended up going to bed as we are lightweights.

Cockroaches - Samantha stop reading, and dont u dare shout at me for this.
Since starting work we discovered that there was a large amount of cockroaches in the office, and there was nests in things such as speakers. So we bought some traps for them, which consisted of a really sticky piece of card (like fly paper) littered around the office. Well there has been a cockroach count every day for the past couple of weeks and has just had us in laughter and horror because there was defo a nest in the kitchen so the one in the kitchen had about 7 adults and loads of babies. But the (samantha defo stop reading now) thing is that whilst the cockroaches walk on to the paper, they then get stuck on it but are still alive and in some cases they then give birth to their egg things, which then eventually hatch on the paper (seriously samantha do not shout at me) and all the babies pop out and proceed to get stuck on the paper. At the last count of the one in the kitchen it had about 150 cockroaches on it and it was about 10 inches by 4 inches. The one in the server room has managed to catch a big american cockroach. We did also think that between me and conor there was things around and this has been confirmed this week by suddenly cockroaches appearing in this one and also hatching. Needless to say the cockroach count has caused a lot of laughter especially because conor (who only comes in once a week) takes offense that we suggest he is bringing in the cockroaches.

We went to a Quiz night on Tuesday, Simon knew a lot of the answers and the other team members kept turning to him for the answer. We came 7th overall out of about 25 teams. My embarrassing but triumphant moment was when the question was: Which 2 actors/actresses from Beveley Hills 90210 had got married in 1992? and I got the answer correct. (Luke Perry, Shannon Doherty if your interested). Very embarrassing.
