Don't you hate it when this happens...

While writing that previous post, I looked on in horror as "jumping spider" casually sauntered won from the top of my screen, and started walking down the the middle of the screen... At that point, I pulled up Paint, and started drawing the following note on the screen, with the intention of capturing a snapshot of it using my phone...


Lo and behold, this is the photo I captured. Making things worse/more ironic, was that as I was drawing the arrow that pointed at the blasted invader, it turned around (it had been facing the other way, big legs to the left instead), to face/stare at the arrowhead.... Way to go spider, way to go...


(And now, as I'm typing this, it's wandering in and out of the right hand side of the screen.... no, wait, now it's sitting over the "Schedule", no "Labels" button on the side panel, as if trying to have a say on what I classify this post as.... Gah!  It's so annoying, as I don't really want to just squish it dead on my screen, as I'd don't really want to scratch the surface and/or leave some unsightly stains... but, argh!  stop walking towards the text area now, alright?!  Dammit... nooo..... not on to the image.... nooooo.... and now you're looking down at the little handwritten message I'd just put up.... please don't proceed to try and get up to any fancy antics with your likeness.... noo... shooooo! Scram!  Get off my screen dammit!)

  1. I don't really think it was a real spider on your monitor screen...
    I really think it is all the way around: the spider is a draw and someone glued a black text on your screen... so at the end you really needed to draw that spider there, to make sense of the whole context

  2. The easy solution is to blow strongly. Another option is to spray permethrine all over your screen, so that all these small animals fall dead without having a chance to leave a mark...
