I have to keep this brief, I still have blood in my
fingernails and it’s going to take forever to clean them out before work. I’ve
seen people spurt blood from their neck in movies and I’ve seen them gush in
real life, but this was a whole new level. Tweezers were not supposed to be the
most dangerous weapon I used in my career and yet it was surprisingly useful
for a close-up kill. Because it doesn’t just poke a hole or slice in a thin
line; it’s an open, gapping chunk of neck that just doesn’t stop – hence why I
was so unprepared for how much cleanup would be involved. It was a gift from my
husband so how could I refuse? He brought me this sweet young woman who was
walking home from a bad break up and just needed some company. She was actually
very company. She was normal and had normal problems like a sexist boss, and an
insensitive ex-boyfriend, and car payments that were clashing with her student
loan payments. We had a very nice chat before I killed her. I’d forgotten how
nice it is to just sit and talk with someone. It was a nice reminder that the
world keeps going and you can move on. Things will get back to normal.
Heather is coming back to work next week. Her mousey temp
has been fine but she’s no Heather. I’ve always liked Heather’s work ethic,
that’s nothing new, so it stands to reason that when she’s not around I miss
her. I still can’t believe I let myself get this attached to my secretary but
that’s a whole other problem.
Now I really need to go and scrub before work.
It’s always the little things that will get you.
As always, dear readers,
Stay Safe
