yesterday, i saw my first cockroach. i was about to leisurely wash some dishes in the kitchen sink at dave's apartment when it appeared. after considering my options (my initial plan was threefold: scream, flail, and run away) i decided to take an enormous wad of paper towels and guide him to his death via the drain.
once he was down there i let the water run for what seemed like a while, but when i turned it off he just crawled right back out like he'd been relaxing in the jacuzzi. so i tried again. mission accomplished. he finally succumbed to his fate and disappeared down the drain so i didn't even have to deal with the remains.
to sum up, yes, i can be a wuss. in other, only slightly less terrifying news, i'm presenting at lab meeting in three days. i think i'd prefer bugs over talking about my work to a roomful of MD/PhD's.
[ed. note: the presence of the cockroach in no way reflects the cleanliness of dave's apartment. he is quite tidy in fact. however i still maintain that only one dish in the sink was mine at the time of the incident.]
