so i was walked outside the office building on the loading dock for a smoke. there was a long black something over where i usually sit. ‘hmm, wonder what that is,’ i think as i approach the out of place object. then the little buggers tounge slipped out! AAHHH!! snake! snake! a big, 3 foot long, shiny black snake!
beady little eyes looking at me, i back away slowly, very slowly. he was rather weird looking, all shiny, and almost kinked. lots of wavyness in its body. i am soo glad it was way on the other side from the door. i tried to find out what it was on the net (but i was not going back out for another look) and my best guess is that it was a black racer, which i have just learned will bite alot if ocrnered. two more steps before i noticed him, and i would’ve been bloody (maybe).
last monday night i was working and over in the same area there was a little bug that looked just like a scorpion, but only 2-3 inches long. hmm, i thought. that must be one of those bugs that looks like something else to scare off predetors. i stand right next to him, not scared at all, cause scorpions live in the desert as everyone knows (duh!). apparently everyone but me knows that small 2-3 inch long scorpions do live here in georgia.
i think i’ll smoke out front from now on.
and, a bit less interesting, standing on said dock a few months ago, i look out and see what looked like a turkey on the other side of the fence. weird i thought, that looks just like a turkey. so i tell my coworkers and they are like oh yeah, there’s a wild turkey that is sighted around the building (they even feed it). she had some babies about a month ago.
and once when visiting a with friends in the mountains of NC i looked out the back door and saw chickens. but that’s not what i said. what i said i will always be teased about for the rest of my life. i said ‘ooh, look, birds!’. apparently, chickens don’t truely qualify as birds.
